Review: "Cymbal-to-cymbal differences in sound make generalizations difficult, but the range of ride sounds is there, including everything from the softer, pang-like swell of an old Art Blakey ride to the tighter, more medium-heavy clang of the classic Tony Williams sound. The overall feeling of the cymbal is warm, and it seems you get a different sound everywhere you touch the surface. For short, melodic cascades of crashes, 8th-note accents and glancing half crash colors, this is a good all-around cymbal, because its impact is very dry and controlled. Electric guitarists will appreciate the definition, along with the frequency range of the cymbal doesn't clash with their instrument. If you're only going to use one ride cymbal, this is an excellent all-around possibility."

Review: "The 20in is a jazzer's delight, with such a variety of total responses and colours that I venture that either the muscular application of Tony Williams, or the much more delicate demands of Billy Higgins would be more than satisfied."
