I bought a 20" 8 years ago and still enjoy it. This ride cuts through a mix weather your playing on the bell,bow,or edge. Even cuts through at low volume.Great stick definition with wood or nylon tipped sticks.Very wet sounding.It is not a great crash (a little to resounding) for my style but thats what they make crashes for.This is also a durable ride.Mine gets used and sometimes abused and still no problem. I like to keep mine clean for that wet sound.

I got a used 20'' ping ride that sounded very amazing when I got it. I was told it was over 10 years old, so I was surprised it sounded so amazing. the bell has some of the clearest definition Ive heard. I actually used a non abrasive metal cleaner on it and it seriously brought out the definition even more. It is a seriously great sounding ride, especially for softer songs and ballads, but I can play metal just as easily on it as well, especially the bell. Plus for the fact that it was claimed to be over 10 years old, its held up greatly. I think it's well worth the money, this cymbal will last.

...not just using the bell either, which seriously cuts through the loud music that I play. I've had the 20" for 4+ years now it finally cracked after loads of abuse. Perfect sound, perfect weight...it is easily my favorite cymbal of all time.

I've owned this cymbal for over 8 years, still no cracks, dents or key holing. Sounds perfect from Jazz to Extreme technical death metal and anything in between. Perfect stick definition, kinda crazy sounding crash qualities. Definitely loud. Cuts through 2 montser half stacks. I use this cymbal the most for blast beats and awkward ride patters. This cymbal will not let you down. Buy the 22". It's worth every penny. :]

Did my research, saved up and bought one of these. Alright so her are the facts, it was a definate improvement from the zbt used at my church, but durin songs there were parts where I couldnt get enough volume out of it. I use nylon sticks to make the cymbal sound brighter, I'm not sure if thats the problem. Overall its a great versatile cymbal that makes your whole drumset sound ALOT better. The "Ping" is great and the bell really rocks. A little expensive but still a definate buy.
