Review: "Starting with the ride cymbals, they are available in 20" and 22" models. They can best be described as having a very dry sound, yet they don't have that anvil-like clang that is often labeled "dry." Instead, you get a little more of a "click" sound from the stick, and there are just enough overtones to give it body. I preferred the 20" model in most situations, finding the 22" a bit gongy at times. (Although, when I played a set of these cymbals at the NAMM show at Chicago's McCormick Place, the 22" sounded better to me. So let the cymbal fit the room.) I found the rides to be especially well-suited to faster tempos, as they allowed total clarity and definition. (Think about the way DeJohnette plays a ride cymbal and you'll get the idea.) The other exceptional feature of these cymbals is their bell sound, which is extremely clear and cutting. Rock drummers who do a lot of their playing on the bell would do well to check these out."
