Review: "The 20" ride was something of a chameleon. First off, it seemed a little heavier than a traditional medium ride. As a result, it offered a dryer, pingier sticking sound than most other all-purpose rides. In addition, there was a huge difference between the sound created by a wood-tipped stick and that created by a nylon-tipped stick. A wood tip brought out darker, lower-pitched tones, and vir- tually no high-end or shimmer. A nylon-tipped stick found those higher, brighter tones. One might consider this a limitation, but I see it as an advantage. You could have two distinctly different ride cymbals for the price of two pairs of sticks!"
