Review: I bought this monster in late 2006. I'm a great Nicko fan, so I felt that this was the only ride I could get if I wanted REAL Nicko sound. I think I'm the only one on this forum who's got the 22" ND.
This cymbal is a GEM. It looks SO classy and almost scary. I've never tried the 20" ND or regular bell ride, but I've heard that it's quite versatile. The 22" is NOT a jazz ride. It's extremely heavy, and is great for rock, metal and Maiden.
It's called BELL RIDE for a reason. The bell on this monster is huge. The stick sound is BRIGHT and PINGY. When you tap it, it almost sounds kind of gongy. When hit, this beast shows who's the boss. It produces a pingy sound when played on the edge. It's not very crashable. When played on the bell with the shoulder of the stick, it produces PURE NICKO SOUND. It sounds EXACTLY like on the "POWERSLAVE" record. If you like classic post-Clive Burr Maiden, this is the ULTIMATE ride for you.
Although it might be very loud, this pie can actually be used in moderate volume settings, but I wouldn't use it for anything lighter than rock. Maybe the 20" will do then. I've heard that it's good for blues stuff.
With the exception of the new 24" Rude ride (I suppose), this ride smokes all power/heavy/-something bell/rock rides, and it's legendary status owns the rude anyway.
Overall: NICKO SOUND, RIGHT OUT OF THE BOX.

Review: Pretty solid at 3500 grams - didn't weigh it myself but the guy who I got it from did. Either way heavy ride but not that loud all things considered. Doesn't feel all that heavy when playing it either. Nice ping that is a a little trashy/clicky and a nice low wash with one fundamental undertone. I used a bit of tape to stop it building too much. Can actually crash the edge for a bright sound, kinda chinaish. Bell is bright and loud but not overly piercing. Overall very impressed. I didn't know what to expect from the SC line but I dig it. Very different compared to my 602 medium 20"
