'''Review:''' "The 20" Medium ride gives a clearly defined ping over supporting wash. Moving onto the bell, the sound focuses into a ripe metallic peal. There is a distinct clarity to the cymbal's response, which is further embellished by a lack of competing overtones." | '''Review:''' "The 20" Medium ride gives a clearly defined ping over supporting wash.
