Review: "The 20" Full Ride was another personal favorite. It was very musical—with the emphasis on the high end, and not much bottom or "wash."
- Review written by Rick Van Horn ("Product Close-Up - Paiste Alpha Cymbals", Modern Drummer, Nov. 1992, p. 44)
Review: "I liked the 20" Full ride less as an all-around cymbal, because the wash it produced took away from the stick definition. That said, it had an appropriately full harmonic range and a bright, round sound."

Review: "The 20" Full ride ($305) was the washiest of all the rides in the Alpha line. The bell was low-pitched and came accompanied by a steady sustain from the body of the cymbal. The bow sound was clear and articu- late but not dry. You could also accent on the edge of this ride to get a washy crash sound."
