Review: "The 20" Encore ride has a slightly lower pitch and a few more overtones than the original DeJohnette ride, but overall it sounds brighter than its predecessor. Generally, when a cymbal is classified as "dry," that means it doesn't have many overtones. Often, such cymbals have a very metallic, clanky sound. The original DeJohnettes were notable for the fact that they had very few overtones but produced more click than clang. They were ideal for extremely fast ride playing that required pinpoint definition, but didn't have the overtones or sustain needed for slow tunes in which the ride notes had a lot of space in between. The Encore ride still produces good definition at fast tempos, but the stick sound is a bit brighter and more metallic than on the original version. Also, by virtue of having a few more overtones, the cymbal sounds better at moderate tempos—but still wouldn't be my first choice for a slow tempo. The Encore ride is still a very dry cymbal, but isn't quite as extreme as the original and thus might find favor with a larger percentage of players."
