Review: "Truer to the Traditionals ideal, the Medium Light Swishes are 100% smoky '60s jazz club. The sound produced by their subtly upturned edge and small bell is suited to the role of a simmering alternative ride in small-group jazz, or cushioning and enveloping a soloist in a big band. Actually, they'd probably provide nice variety in almost any situation where they weren't expected to pierce through a ton of amplification. Warm, dark, breathy, and "polite,"they build to a degree, but stop well below anything approaching a roar. The stick sound remains soft-edged but distinct, except when played at the edge, where the wash takes over. Purists forgive me: I'd be very curious to hear these cymbals with a couple of rivets in them. As with the relationship between the two flat rides described above, the 20" and 22" Light Swishes are nearly identical, except that the 22" has a lower pitch and perhaps a bit more projection. Beautiful."
