Review: "The characteristic of the rides that impressed me most was the high cutting power of their sound. They built up a shimmering spread that stayed under control during any kind of ride pattern. There was clear stick definition in each of them, and the bell sound was very clear and piercing. Their volume capability increased as the size went from 20" to 22".
All the cymbals were lathed from the bell to the edge, with hammer marks beginning just below the bell. The difference between them seemed to come from the hammering. The 20" was hammered almost to the edge. The 21" had hammering that stopped about 2–3" above the edge. The 22" was similar to the 21", except that the hammering was much more subtle. In each case the marks didn’t cover the surface, but rather appeared in bands with varying amounts of spacing between them. Zildjian appears to have exercised a great deal of control over the hammering process in the development of this line."
