Review: This model has a nice ping, mixed with a good bit of volume. Hitting the 4.5" / 11cm bell with the shank of the stick gave a pleasing sound that would be good for accents. At 2538g, it's not too heavy for some crashing! Watch the video I posted above where I did just that. This is quite a bit lighter than the "regular" version of this model - RUDE 20" Power Ride - so if that model is too much for your tastes, or musical style, but you need a ride with good stick definition with a slightly dry wash, this might be a good alternative for you. (And how great does that green look!?)

(*) Two examples from 1986 have been found so far, even though Modern Drummer ("New Paiste Models" p. 122, Feb. 1988) stated this model was new at that time.
