Review: Sounds fantastic - like a heavy Jazz cymbal made for Rock. Strong ping sound/stick definition with a dark roar underneath. Totally unique. It's medium heavy, and it's wild!

Review: "These models proved true to their name and weight. The weight gave solid stick response, allowing me to play complex patterns with great clarity. The bells on all three sizes were extremely loud and cutting. I liked the fact that I could drop in accents on the bell that didn’t disturb the ride sound, but rather mixed into it. The pitch of the three rides moved higher from the 20" to the 22".
On all three sizes, playing a steady ride pattern generated a sound that was big, loud, and full of highs. There was also a full-bodied undercurrent of complex tones that bordered on sounding gong-like, but that stayed under control. This model is lathed on top, with spaced hammering. The Sonic Texture treatment is applied underneath. These are definitely rock cymbals—loud and in your face!"
