Sabian's Description: <<< - >>>
Review: (Brilliant version) "The 20" Diamondback China possessed a distinctive sizzle/rattle quality and shortened decay due to its combination of sizzle rivets and jingles, which not only add noise but shorten the decay as well. Played upside down as an accent cymbal, the Diamondback sounded very sneezy. Right side up, it functioned well as an uptempo ride, which could work in a small jazz setting during horn solos to give the band a bed of sound support."
