Review: "I'll start with the 20", since that's the most typical size for a ride cymbal. The Pre-Aged K had a pretty nice blend of stick definition and overtones. It was drier than the regular K Light Ride, but not as clangy as the K Dry Ride. I found it to be very close to a K Light Ride with a Brilliant finish, but not quite as muted. It also has a bigger bell than the Light Ride, with a clearer, more penetrating tone. I wouldn't call this a particularly trashy-sounding cymbal, but it wasn't pingy either. Essentially, its sound fell somewhere between the K Dry and Light models (which makes sense, given its Dry Light designation)."
