I have owned this ride for about two years now and it never stops amazing me. This is the perfect ride for someone who wants to rock it out like a crash but also play delicate and jazzy. it also records great. the overtones are not tinny or annoying and high pitched, they are low and washy. I can definitely see why Zoro picked this ride. My advice is BUY IT! It is soooooo worth it.

Such a great ride. Looks stunning, and sounds like it too. Has nice overtones, unlike zildjian rides that have obnoxious overtones. So versatile for any style. If you're willing to pay the dough, then give it a go!

OMG,I love this thing I just got it yesterday and it is awsome.Ok,the bow of the cymbal,this is very much like a Dark ride for k zildjian I love it and is good for everything and it can be soft and loud if you want it.The bell:This also sounds like a dark ride by k but has a nice pingy sound that everyone loves for funk latin jazz and rock,blues ,country,.I love this for brushes!.This thing crashes very much like a nice 19 inch dark crash and gives it a deep sound because it is 21 inches!!!!!!I love it.Get this!!If you need a cymbal along with the groove hats you have a perfect gig set.Sounds like an evolution but better bell and crash.You will be happy,I like natural better than brilliant just a reminder it is darker.

You can play any style of music with this thing. Great with Jazz, funk, and latin, even in rock!! Best ride i've ever played. Pricey though, but when you sit and play this thing, you won't think about the money anymore.

I've had the HHX groove ride for over a week now. I love the sound of it. It blends really well with my other cymbals. I havent had the opportunity to hear what its like with other instruments playing along with it, but playing solo with it is really great cause it also dark crash. I'm defiantly going to try and make this crash last. I know its expensive, but its well worth the money! I recommend this cymbal to any serious drummer.
