Review: "Designed in conjunction with Terri Lyne Carrington, the High Definition Ride is a magnificent cymbal whose name says it all. It measures 22" in diameter and has a stunning look. Big hammer marks and some rawness peeking through the shiny bronze/gold lathing create an almost tiger-striped appearance. And in the middle of it all is a completely raw bell that produces a clear, classic tone.
Playing this cymbal was a joy. It declared itself with pronounced stick definition at all levels from quiet to loud. It was created to serve electric and acoustic styles, so it could generate quite a bit of volume yet project just as meaningfully at its quietest.
I tried playing jazz and straight ride patterns as fast as I could. The HD Ride easily kept pace, without any excessive build-up—even when I attacked it with a single-stroke roll. The immediate response had substantial tone that was warm and clear, with a medium-short spread that wasn’t too dry. No matter what I played, the cymbal generated a dark, shimmering, defined cushion of sound that just carried everything along.
I’d recommend this cymbal to anyone who expects great definition from a ride and likes some tone and body in their sound. I’d especially recommend it to those who like to play fast."
