Review: "The crash/rides are all similar in their makeup and vibe. Not one stood out as heavier or with a dramatically different character to the next. The big 22” was an obvious choice of ride for me. The bell was really cutting, the body of the cymbal yielded a super light wash with light stick definition, a lot of nice sustain and a bright tone. I could hear instantly that this cymbal could cut the jazz thing in the Buddy Rich era or the rock thing for Ginger Baker. It’s a familiar sound and still one to love.
The smaller I went, the characteristics remained the same, the pitch just changed. Great bells and a shimmering tone overall – bright, yes, but also warm and useable thanks to the lathing and that patina. They’re very loud cymbals that project well, but they’re not harsh at all, which is contrary to what I was actually expecting. Some vintage cymbals can be harsh on the ears but these aren’t. The only downside is that perhaps there’s a little too much wash on the rides for every situation but I’m really nit-picking there."
