'''Review:''' "For you metal drummers out there, Paiste makes this one in the Alpha line, which includes 17″, 18″, 19″, and 20″ sizes, all in a Brilliant finish (shined with an abrasive). There is also a 20″ Alpha Metal Ride available. Alphas are made from a B8 alloy (92% copper, 8% tin), and this can be seen in its very coppery color. It’s thick, heavy, and delivers a bright punch that will cut through any stack of guitar amplifiers. It will take a beating, for sure. In fact, when I ran the test, it overloaded my microphones, so I had to back them off a few more inches. My microphones will handle up to 130 dB!" <br>
