Review: "The Rock and Medium rides were perfect sonic matches for the hi-hats. The Medium version was created to be a general-purpose ride. It exhibited great articulation, with a hint of dryness, a medium spread, and strong projection. Playing the bell with the tip of the stick didn't bring out quite everything that I wanted, but when I used the shoulder of the stick it cut through with a nice clang.

Meanwhile the Rock Ride was was dry and cutting, with a higher pitch and equally strong projection. Its bell was clear and solid. In fact, its sound was so pronounced that at times it reminded me of a cowbell. This characteristic immediately inspired me to explore some Latin-flavored ideas. The two rides complimented each other nicely when used together allowing for different voices to come from the same spectrum."
