Review: "The 20" ride is a great all-around ride cymbal. It has clean, bright stick articulation with a subtle wash. I played this ride with heavy nylon-tip sticks and thin wood-tip sticks. It felt and sounded great in both applications. You can drive this cymbal very hard without building up a lot of annoying overtones. The 22" ride is sonically very similar to the 20", but has a much wider spread, more harmonic build-up, and a deeper articulation.
If you’ve got the room for a 24" ride in your cymbal case, you might want to check out this monster. I was pleasantly surprised at its warm spread. The “ping” is not as pronounced as it is on the 20" or 22", but it has a much warmer overall tone. And when you lay into it, it produces a very attractive wash that could fall into the crash/ride category. For loud musical applications, I really like what this 24" cymbal brings to the table. The lathed bell on all three cymbals is about 5 1/2" in diameter and sounds sharp and cutting."
