Review: "The 18" ($330) and 20" ($378) Radia Chinese produced markedly different pitches and tonalities depending on how hard and which part of them you struck, availing abundant expressive possibilities to the creative drummer. When played on the scored middle section of the underside, they produced a fairly light, medium-pitched, trashy ride sound. When played on the edge with the shoulder of the stick, they were dark, warm, and ominous when struck lightly, and explosive when bashed. The voice of the 20" model in particular was wonderfully gong-like, especially when played with mallets."
