The ride is perfect for most styles of music. It is musical and there are lot of dynamics and a shimmery wash that I absolutely love. It is also light enough that you can crash it and if you do it fills the air with this warm, soft wash.
Obviously not the greatest ride for that 80s' hair metal cutting bell sound, but thats probably not what you are looking for here. Still, you can get a distinctive bell sound to use when needed.
