Review: This cymbal has reached almost mythical proportions with the Dave Lombardo fans. For those of us who are fans of those late 1980s Slayer albums, this is that sound! It packs a hefty amount of volume, cut, and ping.
Side By Side Comparison with the RUDE Power Ride "The Reign"

• "The Reign" weighs 3841g, so quite a bit more than the 3555g Power Ride. So it came to no surprise that I found the 3000 Power Ride to be lower in pitch. Other characteristics were about the same. I posted a side by side comparison video above.
