Review: "These new medium-thin ride models in the venerable K Custom line provide an interesting mix of flavors: dark, and full of warm undertones. As I played ride patterns, the underlying spread rose but stayed under control, even at louder volume levels. Stick definition was clear and dry, and the medium-thin weight allowed me to be creative with where I placed the stick on the cymbal to achieve different sounds.
The 20" ride had a higher pitch than the 22". The bell sound on both was rich and clear, and great for accents. The only criticism I have is that the bell on the 20" is fairly small, making it a more difficult target. The bell on the 22" is a bit more proportionate to the overall size of the cymbal.
When I crashed the cymbals for accents, the sound was very full—almost gong-like. Brush work was light, airy, and very satisfying."
