Review: "In general, Mark I rides sound drier than Mark II rides, but the overall characteristics are similar. A drummer could certainly use one of each in a setup (perhaps in 20" and 22" sizes) and switch between them within the same tune to get different but complementary colors.
The timbres of the 21" Mark I and Mark II rides were very similar to their respective 20" siblings, but the extra inch gave them a bigger, fuller sound. If a 20" ride is typically your preference, you might want to consider the 21" versions of the Dark Energy rides. I rate both of these as considerably more versatile than the 20" versions."

Review: I read as many reviews as possible before I made the plunge. I didn’t trust my ears in the store and I just wasn’t relaxed enough to really make a good judgment, however, I asked the salesman to play it while I listened from various points in the drum room, and that myth concerning Paiste’s sounding better/best from the audience’s perspective might have some truth to it. In the store, she sounded good behind the kit, but damn did she sound nice while the sales dude was thrashing away. And his touch was shit.
So I brought her home, and I am in love. I suck at describing sounds, but the stick is very crisp. There isn’t much give at all, but I totally dig the response. Responds very well with light playing, never losing it’s amazing character even with the lightest touch. Is that a Paiste thing? Cause I am still blown away by that.
There is a lot of character/complexity here, but EQ’d Paiste style. Kinda mysterious to my ears. The overall character is dark, but there is brilliance there too. An activated brilliance. Very cool IMO.
Gentlemen, make no mistake: this is a Jazz cymbal. (Funk, Blues, nonheavy Rock and Pop as well)
