Review: "A trio of new rides covers diameters of 20", 21" and 22". The 20" and 22" Light rides don't feature the raw bells of the straight rides on top, but, intriguingly, do below. They are both fairly lively and so a wave of wash builds up quite quickly when playing. The stick sound is fatter and deeper on the larger model but the wash - though it is not unpleasant sounding - is more of a distraction. We found they gave the best results when played gently - they are, after all, Light rides."

Review: "As rides, the 20" and 22" Lights have a lot of wash and not a lot of attack. But if you want that sort of Ronnie Vannucci (The Killers) crash/ride effect, these would be perfect. The bells aren’t very articulate either. But they have a nice “vintage” character that’s cool for classic R&B feels."
