Review: (NOTE: This review takes place after the entire series was re-designed in 2001)
"Unfortunately, I was not impressed with the 20" ride. I found it to have a bit of a “beginner-level” sound, not the sweet or dark K tone we’ve come to expect. And I didn’t see the “extra hammer marks” supposedly intended to give added depth of tone. In fact, the cymbal produced an annoying overtone at a bothersome frequency, after only about four bars of riding."
