Review: "The 20" Light Sweet and Sweet rides address the fact that not all jazz is about ultra-low, dark, trashy cymbal sounds. The Sweet rides feature tight lathing and a smaller, tighter hammering pattern than that used on the other Jazz rides. Accordingly, they cover the brighter, more penetrating sound of the spectrum, without getting brash or aggressive about it, and without actually getting up into “high” pitch ranges.

The Sweet ride, which is a little heavier, has a better bell, not so much spread, and less low-volume crashability. Many might see this model as the most familiar-sounding or “general-purpose” of the Byzance Jazz series."
