Review: "Lathing is only apparent on the 22" ride, with the grooves evident on the topmost surface only. Judging by the hammer strikes, the process order appears to be lathing, hammering and then the final random buffed 'tiger' lines from the top of the bell and tailing-off towards the outer edge.

We kick off with a selection of gradually increasing hits upon the bow of the 22" ride - rather than building to a saturating wash, it maintains a clear, high-pitched ping, eventually dying away with even fade.

A shoulder clout at the side of the bell produces a penetrating high-pitch 'ting'. This cymbal is so well-balanced that, when left to sustain, there is hardly any motion at the outer edges.

If you are into jazz, here you may be a little disappointed as this cymbal doesn't have the complex characteristics and fullness of sound found in a cast cymbal, but this is great news for metallers!"
