Paiste's Description: Medium Ride
Review: "The medium ride produced a moderate buildup and a clean, throaty stick attack that surfed three or four pitches above the substantial wash. I had to really beat on this sucker to bury the stick sound, which for me makes it the most potentially versatile of the line in terms of the musical styles it would flourish in. For its woody, organic quality, this cymbal was my favorite of the lot, and I won't be at all surprised if it fails to make it into the box headed back to Paiste."
