Zildjian's Description: <<< - >>>
Review: Its extra-heavy weight might keep some drummers away from this ride as it isn't what I'd consider a good one for all purposes. The Earth Rides were totally raw, unlathed and unhammered. The sound - icy, dry, and defined - made this model very popular with drummers in the Heavy Metal community. But, it was also popular with other drummers, in particular Dennis Chambers used the 22" one for several years. With a wood-tipped stick, it sounds a bit darker than with a nylon-tipped one, which brightens the sound a bit. I think every drummer should try the model, it might surprise you.
