Good crash, good ride. Pairs up nicely with an xs20 14" medium hats and a 18" rock crash on the left side (sometimes i borrow my friend's- entirely optional). If you want a dedicated ride, go with something thicker though. This thing suffices but its best aspect is the cost.

This is probably one of the warmest, jazziest ride cymbals you can find for this kinda price. The sound you get out of this gorgeous thing for the price you pay is a deal that remains unbeaten. Works great in any environment, and adds a nice jazzy warm uniqueness to any drumset.

This is a pretty versitle ride. It's clean enough to ride on, but I love to get on this thing and crash/ride it. I love it's crash. It projects very well, and cuts through the mix. It also has a pretty nice although small bell. I love it; it's awesome!

This ride cymbals is definitely worth the money. I used to have a Paiste 502 Plus ride and the sound difference is crazy. The only thing I miss about the Paiste was the size of the bell. I really like playing the bell and the Xs20 bell is a little on the smallish side. Other than that, this ride is perfect for any situation or style of music.

Great Value for the price, pick it up if you have some extra cash.

For the price, this is a pretty sweet ride The bell is surprisingly good, cuts pretty well. washy stick tone, really great for kinda light jazz stuff, but also sounds fine in a rock environment. This ride also has a bit of crash-ability, not enough to be used as crash, but ok if you do a little bit of crashing along with riding. Certain things could be better, and there are better rides out there, but for this price, you will be hard pressed to find a more versatile cymbal. I have used this to play death metal, smooth jazz, hip hop, funk, and everything in between.
