'''Review:''' The 24" Rock Ride has an interesting duality - it has a bright ping over a low, ominous wash. Mine weighs 4192g, putting this in the extra-heavy weight class. It possesses strong stick definition, with plenty of power. The bell is 8" / 20cm, and hitting it with the shank of the stick produced a bright "ding" for cutting through loud music.  <br>

Review: "The Rock rides all provided a clear stick ping, chiming bell tones, and a controlled but prominent wash. I preferred the "Welcome To The Jungle"-type bow sound of the 24", mainly because it had minimal wash and a chunky attack. But the bell on the 20" had the most cut. The 20" and 22" rides sounded very similar; it's a difference of overall pitch more than anything else. The giant bell on the 24" gave off more of an industrial anvil-like effect."
