Review: When I bought this I didn't know it was much lighter than the Sound Creation 22" Dark Ride, which was what I was really hoping for. This is a trashier, and more delicate sounding ride than that one, and this one crashes better too. This is definitely a jazz cymbal, in my opinion, whereas that Sound Creation could be used across more musical genres. I'm sure there are lots of people who love this cymbal, but I had no applications for it.

Review: "Similar to their papery thin cousin, the 20″ and 22″ Dark Rides were smoky and warm with a big, cozy bed of low tones rounding out the spread. However, their meaty, clicking attack made them much more capable as centerpiece rides.
Because each of the Dark Rides has a mellow yet present bell and a comfortable crash, they worked very well together in low- to mid-volume settings. Paired with my favorite set of heavily patinaed 15″ hats, these cymbals gave me everything I needed for a guitar trio rehearsal that called for a lot of dynamic sensitivity."
