Review: "The 20" Studio Ride proved to be very versatile. It provided good stick articulation, and had a medium to medium-high pitch and just a bit of shimmer when played softly. But when I laid into it, it built up just the right amount of wash to keep things full and interesting. The cymbal was fairly civilized - until I went for the bell. Then all bets were off. yes, i could play the large, raw, unlathed bell quietly with the tip of the stick and it would yield a nice ping. But it had a big, aggressive sound when I really got after it with the shoulder of the stick. Because of this "split-personality" characteristic, this cymbal could go from swing to metal and do a fairly credible job at both. Nice."
