Review: "The 20" Power Ride didn't sound as "pretty" as the Full Ride, but produced a very clean, precise stick sound that cut through higher volumes with good definition."

Review: "This cymbal is the antithesis of the Flat Ride. It's very heavy and produces a clean, distinct stick "ping." The cymbal's big bell offers a terrific bell-ride sound, and it also helps the cymbal produce a big build-up of sound—not a wash, just lots and lots of sustain."
