Review: This ride will cut through a mix with ease. It has a tremendous amount of definition, with a decent bell. It is loud, but ultimately I decided to go with the 2002 22" Heavy Ride instead. The latter ride has similar definition, and a nice warm wash, which the power ride lacks. I found the power ride to be a bit too one-dimensional for my tastes, whereas I feel like the heavy ride is more versatile.

Review: "Power Ride is a new heavier cymbal which is only found in the 2002 range. They're only made in the larger sizes (20" and 22") at the moment and are very thick. There's very little discernible difference in sound from bell to outside edge; it is very distinct until you get to the last half-inch or so of the edge and would work equally well, I suspect, for aggressive Jazz or perhaps Foreigner-type Rock."
