Paiste's Description: <<< - >>>
Review: For a medium weight ride, this is very lively. It has a nice ping, bright, but not irritating. It has a nice full wash, but isn't overbearing. I polished the green finish off down til it was shiny (being careful not to rub off the logos),and it opened this up a little more. I would have to say this is one of my favorite all-time rides. It took some time to get used to the sound, but once I broke in my ears, I fell in love. For comparison, this weighs the same as the Paiste 2002 22" Ride, so although one would expect it to be extra heavy, like the Crash/Rides, this really is not. A Twenty series 22" Ride weighs significantly more!
