Istanbul Agop's Description: <<< - >>>
Review: "Chamberlain's 23" ride ($789) is very thin and has a flat bell and an umbrella-like profile. As a result, it had a wide, low-pitched, and complex sound that opened up very easily. Playing this cymbal on the bow elicited a sparkling attack with a significant amount of trashy, low-pitched sustain. It's a similar sound to what you get from very old vintage rides, only with a more balanced overall voice. The bell sound got a bit blurred by the buildup of wash, so you won't want to use this cymbal for Nell Peart-style ride figures. But the crash sound was big, fast, and full of dark, opulent colors. It's a funky but musical cymbal, designed by one of the funkiest and most musical drummers around."
