Meinl's Description: <<< - >>>
Review: "The 22" extra-thin ride is very thin by today's standards. (I could easily flex it by hand.) This gives it a wobbly, washy character with a dark, low-pitched sound. It, too, gave great response and clarity when played with a small stick. A heavier stick and/or harder playing built up quite a roar. The moderate-sized bell didn't offer much in the way of playability."
