'''Review:''' "Despite its name, the 18" Safari ride, from the Generation X series, is more of an effects cymbal than a true ride. It was designed with Johnny Rabb and is actually made up of two cymbals. On the bottom is an 18" flat ride with a rippled ring near the middle. The top cymbal is an 8" splash with a rippled edge that sits on the rippled ring of the flat ride. The ripples help increase the movement between the cymbals, which creates a short sizzled crash sound when you play the Safari as a ride. The amount of sizzle can be manipulated through what Meinl calls "tension tuning." This simply means you can adjust the effect by tightening or loosening the wing nut on your cymbal stand." | '''Review:''' "Despite its name, the 18" Safari ride, from the Generation X series, is more of an effects cymbal than a true ride.
