'''Review:''' "The 20" ride received mixed reviews. It produced a fairly clear stick-attack sound, but also built up a fair amount of "wash" when we really laid into it. Pitch-wise, it was in a low-to-medium range, which might make it good for jazz or funk, but might not lend itself to projecting through heavy amplification. Remember though that this line has some of the characteristics of North American-made cymbals, and pitch will probably vary among individual cymbals more so than among other European-made models. The bell sound was loud and cutting. Overall, the performance of the cymbal was at a professional level, but the sound characteristics of our particular model would appeal to very specific tastes."<br> | '''Review:''' "The 20" ride received mixed reviews.

Review: "The 20" ride received mixed reviews. It produced a fairly clear stick-attack sound, but also built up a fair amount of "wash" when we really laid into it. Pitch-wise, it was in a low-to-medium range, which might make it good for jazz or funk, but might not lend itself to projecting through heavy amplification. Remember though that this line has some of the characteristics of North American-made cymbals, and pitch will probably vary among individual cymbals more so than among other European-made models. The bell sound was loud and cutting. Overall, the performance of the cymbal was at a professional level, but the sound characteristics of our particular model would appeal to very specific tastes."

Review: "The Atlas Pro-2 Special 20' ride ($255.00) was favorite - a very grownup sound, responsive, high intensity, rich (but not muddy) with overtones. It sounds equally at home driving a big band or banging away atop a heavy metal ensemble."
- Review written by John Burks and Robin Tolleson ("Cymbals - Things That go Whooooooosh In The Night", Drums and Drumming, Summer 1987, pg. 65)
