Review: "Now, "cranked" is a relative term, depending on what kind of band you're talking about. Mine is a Top-40/R&B club band. If you're "cranking" with a metal group pushing Marshall stacks, then the Power Ride would be your choice. It had a killer bell sound, and a clean, clear, distinct stick attack. As is the case with most heavy ride cymbals, it didn't offer a lot of subtlety, and it sounded pretty clanky if played in a non-power situation. But when used in its proper application, that incredible SFR brilliance cut through impressively. (A nylon-tipped 2B on this baby might shatter glass!)"
