Review: "As for the 22" Manhattan, all of the elements are in sync: It features a perfect combination of spread and wash along with good articulation. The stick sound speaks just above a warm-and-fuzzy wash, even at fast tempos. You can get subtle crash accents on it, and the bell sound is usable. Plus, the cymbal is thin and delicate enough to allow you to get ultra soft stick- and even brush-strokes from it.
