Sabian's Description: <<< - >>>
Review: "The city of Memphis summons up memories of many legends of American music, from Booker T and Otis Redding to Wilson Pickett, Carl Perkins and Elvis. The implication is the Memphis ride will do you for soul, r'n'b, country and gospel. That's quite a list and thankfully this distinctive cymbal does a grand ole job.

It also falls into the AAX category, but is thinner (medium-thin) than the previous two rides and is consequently deeper in timbre. This is coupled with a smallish bell, which is part lathed and noticeably high-pitched, making a sharp contrast with the dark body of the cymbal. Absolutely made for a Latin-tinged rendition of Ray Charles' 'What'd I Say'."
