Someone lent me this ride cymbal a few days ago and I used it already two times. So it's possible that I update this review latter when I have more experience with it.... It's an EXCELLENT cymbal: it sounds full, mellow and accurate it doesn't matter if you play with the tip or the shoulder of the drumstick. The response is excellent and musical, with enough volume and easy to control. It sounds neither too high nor too low. The bell is quite powerful but less than the one of the the 21" Rock Ride. It sounds rather low... The sound of this cymbal perfectly matches my music and playing style (pop and rock). The cymbal is comfortable to play. The sound can be easily controlled unlike other ride models which sound too muddy and loud. Very well-balanced and musical cymbal, a real delight.... And given that it's a Zildjian, you can expect it to sound better with aging. Wonderful instrument for demanding drummers. Suitable for every kind of music (except extreme genres).
