Review: "Looking at the cymbals individually, I'll start with the biggest. We received three 20" Medium Rides, and two of them were so similar that, in our blindfold test, the other guys didn't even realize that I was switching back and forth between them. And the third one wasn't all that different. So either these cymbals are very consistent, or whoever chose the ones that were to be sent to us was looking for a specific sound. Anyway, the ride sound was very clear. They had just a touch of the "trashy" sound—less, actually, than modern Zildjian K's or Sabian HHs—but with a lower pitch than would be common on an A Zildjian or Sabian AA, and a bit more "clang" than overtones. They had more body when played with wood-tip sticks; with nylon-tip sticks they sounded somewhat thin."
