Review: "The Light rides possess the clarity I've always associated with 2002s. But while still on the bright side, they aren't nearly as glassy or one-dimensional. The 18" model could moonlight nicely as a secondary crash, as is commonly desired by jazz players. The lower-pitched 20" version is less convincing in this role. When rolled on with mallets, both sizes produce beautifully musical swells. Typical of light rides, the bell sound is very understated.
In standard ride usage, the Lights' volume and projection are suitably contained for the settings where most drummers would use a light ride cymbal. Their wash nearly overtakes the stick sound when played fast and hard. But unless you're seeking a "wall of sound" wash (for which Dimensions Light rides would serve nicely), you'd probably be inclined to save this kind of playing for a heavier cymbal anyway."
