A medium thin cymbal with dark low pitch tones. A big beautiful crash to work with and has a softer bell but projects well in a mix. The cymbal shows off it's brightness when played louder. I use it as my ride/crash. The bow of the cymbal works well for riding with tip of stick. A versatile cymbal with more wash as ride function but I like that the stick definition is hidden and low. I sent back the 2002 Ride and got this 2002 crash instead. It's like the ultimate light ride/crash cymbal. Musical, light for building intensity with wash, good bell, great crash with medium sustain and loud if I would like. Much better 22" crash/ride though it's not a medium crash, than 22" ride. Thanks
