Review: "Since nearly all the cymbals that come a reviewer's way are bronze, tackling a brass set usually means two things: you know at least that you're in for something different. And it's usually going to be painful. So steeling ourselves for the expected tinnitus-worsening clang of the 20" ride we got a pleasant surprise. Yes, it is high-pitched and quite tinny, but it's a whole heap classier than the average starter brass platter.

Beneath that initial thin attack there is some real meat and tone. The decay is pretty fast so you can crash-ride it and the bell has a reasonably powerful sound - in fact you could almost mistake it for a bronze bell. That extra quality is surely the result of the proper hammering and lathing and is equally evident when it comes to the crashes."
