Review: "The least outlandish of this batch of Signatures, Jam Masters would adapt to a variety of drumming situations. A lighter, small-group jazz band is probably the only application for which I wouldn't recommend them, since their fundamental sound is quite bright, focused, and fairly high-pitched. Made of hand-hammered B20 bronze, Jam Masters are identified by a lathed bottom and unlathed top.
Many crash/rides tend to compromise the effectiveness of one or both functions. I was impressed by how well the 18" Jam Master crash/ride ($327) fulfilled both.
