Review: "The 20-inch Medium ride is the lighter of the two B8 Pro rides available, but again is a substantial chunk of bronze. All that weight guarantees a high tuning (the heavier the cymbal, the higher the pitch) and the stick sound on the bow is bright and clean. As such, patterns are extremely well-defined, if on the glassy side.

Moving on to the bell, the sound changes abruptly, becoming harder, more metallic and completely removed from the rest of the cymbal. The bell's assertive tone really stands out and compares favourably with more expensive ride cymbals."
