21" A-Series Sweet Ride : Great crash/ride with nice bell

11 years ago

The bell: played with the shoulder of the stick the bell produces a nice and cutting but not overly sharp sound.

The bow: played in the middle of the bow you get a mellow ride sound with lots of wash and good stick definition which gets tighter as you move closer to the bell.

The edge: fantastic crashability with surprisingly fast attack for a cymbal of this size.

I currently use this cymbal for a lot of crash riding in a stoner rock band. It's just perfectly suited for creating a massive wall of chrash during halftime parts.

Only 4/5 for quality because the edge of mine is slightly sharp so you have to watch out not to hurt yourself when choking the cymbal.
