Zildjian's Description: <<< - >>>
Review: "That was certainly my experience. I was working out on the 20" long after I had played it enough to write the review—delighting in its perfect blend of definition and overtones. Played with an acorn-shaped wood-tip stick, the cymbal produced the dry click articulation characteristic of K-type cymbals. The overtones had enough of that "trashy" sound to also sound K-like—but not so many as to be muddy (which was a problem with a lot of the "old" K's from Istanbul). The cymbal was on the thin side, producing the type of low-pitched "dark" sound that would serve as a cushion for a band's sound more than it would cut through it."
