Review: "Rides are complex and good ones should be subtle. These two aren't. They are fairly heavyweight, but they sound tinny and thin. There is a sharp stick response but no great depth.

They do open up if you pile in with a heavy stick and big tip - which we suppose is the idea. And the strident pitch probably does help to cut through. But we're not fully convinced - the sound is simply too toppy. And the bell on the 22" is lumpen. Dead."
