Meinl's Description: <<< - >>>
Review: "The 20" Light Sweet and Sweet rides address the fact that not all jazz is about ultra-low, dark, trashy cymbal sounds. The Sweet rides feature tight lathing and a smaller, tighter hammering pattern than that used on the other Jazz rides. Accordingly, they cover the brighter, more penetrating sound of the spectrum, without getting brash or aggressive about it, and without actually getting up into “high” pitch ranges.
The Sweet Light ride, by virtue of its thin design, offers excellent crashability. However, this characteristic contributes to a washy spread that can obscure sticking patterns at higher volume levels. Its bell is playable if not remarkable."
