Review: "Where the Giant Beat is regal, JR's 2002 Swish is fearsome. It was developed to complement his Masters 24" Deep ride, but that's a refined B20 alloy cymbal where this has a nasty edge, designed to stoke things up.
The 2002s were always aimed at high volume electric music and this bulky Oriental-tinged Swish has a coruscating attack, actually among the loudest metals of any description we can recall. Which is not to say it doesn't have a wide dynamic range plus a lot of tonal colours over the surface - extremely pingy nearer the bell, almost soft on the outer upturned lip, strong and dense in the centre. Smashed energetically it is a leviathan that will scare guitarists at 50 paces. Not for the faint-hearted then, but exciting and musical all the same."
