Sabian's Description: <<< - >>>
Review: "This leads us to the 20" and 21" rides. Their actual quality of sound and tone is different from other Sabian rides. Play them in the default (un-drilled) central area and you get a bright, yet full body with precise, stabbing stick response. It’s more metallic with a tinkly top end. You can indeed lay into them, when they open up without either washing out or becoming overbearing.

And as with the crashes, there’s a contrasting effect to be had if you play them over the central pinholes (which again overlap into the bells). Here the air seeping through the holes seems to open up the sound to a vivid jingle, a proper ding-dong bell. Definitely something different and new. "
