Review: "The 20" and 22" Reflector Bell Rides lived up to their name with cutting, throaty bell sounds, as well as great stick "ping" and a nicely controlled wash. They complemented the other models of the Heavy Full line very well while displaying distinct differences from the crashes of the same size. Both Bell Rides responded well to crashing with the shoulder of the stick, while resisting building up to an uncontrollable wash.
The 20" model proved to be a great substitute for my usual medium ride, which I use in a variety of musical situations. The 22" Bell Ride is clearly designed as a heavy rock cymbal-as is evidenced by the prominent Power Slave logo of Iron Maiden's Nicko McBrain-and it definitely shines in that role. Yet the 22" produces a much darker and more musical tone than I expected from a cymbal of this size and weight."
