Zildjian's Description: <<< - >>>
Review: "On the 22" Light, that soft and silvery property, while still evident, was dominated by fundamentals that were far darker and, to at least a couple of MD editors, more interesting. The editors' consensus: "The 22" Light really has character."
The 22" Light model mushroomed out a bit more in the low end, but even here it sounded controlled and, to use jazzer (and Zildjian endorser) John Riley's term, "transparent." As a result, even under "wall of sound" conditions, the pitch and timbre of the cymbal's roar remained fairly stable. To describe the overall effect in terms that could be interpreted as either favorable or critical, depending on your musical tastes and needs, this is one centered, polite line of cymbals."
