Istanbul Agop's Description: <<< - >>>
Review: "The 22" Om ride had a low but focused pitch and clear articulation that was supported but never overwhelmed by a warm, humming sustain. The bell sound was deep and focused, even when I shanked the bell with the shoulder of the stick. Crash accents elicited a slightly trashy sound, but the overtones remained balanced. This highly musical ride could easily become a workhorse for jazzers and rockers alike."

Review: "The 22" ride is an incredibly articulate cymbal capable of reproducing flurries of notes fluently. The stick sound is dry and metallic, yet warm, and sits on a cushion of wash.
Perhaps displaying its jazzy roots, the ride doesn't have the biggest of bells, but we found it had no problem projecting in playing situations far louder than acoustic jazz."
