For such a big cymbal the Waronker ride is surprisingly nimble. The stick sound is clear and focussed and is accompanied by an ever-present but unobtrusive wash. In keeping with its diameter, there is a wide, expansive feel to the cymbal but at the same time it is easy to control.

The bell isn't designed to operate in clang territory (unless shouldered, in which case it lights up); rather it gives an authoritative but appropriately musical response."

Review: "Waronker's giant 24" ride ($899) is medium- heavy and has a relatively flat profile with a large, round bell. If the Chamberlain ride is like a modernized vintage Zildjian, this one is more like an aged Paiste 2002 with a three-packs-a-day smoking habit. Its thick but warm stick "ping" had a certain skating quality that led me to play a lot of light 16th-note grooves. The bell sound was very clear but not clangy, and the wash was simultaneously complex and even. This cymbal sounded best when played with a delicate touch, but its strong and firm physique allowed for a lot of head- room in more high-velocity situations."

+'''Review:''' "Alongside the Epochs, Joey Waronker's 24" ride is decidedly clean cut. Tidily hammered and lathed, no handwashing is required after touching it. The huge expanse of bronze is broken up by Istanbul Agop's logo and a reproduction of Joey's signature.
