| − | '''Review''': "Like the crash, the 20" heavy ride had one sound—I tried to get more than one out of it; I really did. I even slammed it with the butt end of my stick. But I continued to get the same clear, piercing tone. Now, to give it its due, this is a killingly loud ride cymbal. It has the loudest bell I have ever heard—and a good-sounding one, at that. And although I would not choose this cymbal as an all-purpose ride, if I were playing music in the 120-plus dB range on a regular basis, I would be glad to have the Raker ride on my side. It's a question of priorities—of choosing an instrument to suit one's specific needs." | + | '''Review''': "Like the crash, the 20" heavy ride had one sound—I tried to get more than one out of it; I really did.
