Reviews
"If you play the 24" Medium Ride on the profile, there is initially a light touch sound that is emphasized in the middle and offers a subtle shimmer in the overtones. The dark sustain, slightly throaty to rumbling, offers very fast modulation in the decay. All of these individual sound factors can be brought to the fore through the strength of the attack and the choice of weapon - i.e. which stick (with a round head, arrow-shaped or barrel-shaped tip, 5A or 2B model, etc.). And then I hope you will have fun looking for the different sounds across the entire playing area of ​​the profile. You have a lot of this at your disposal, the yield of sound variations is correspondingly rich. The pitch is bell-shaped and rather dark in the attack, but in the sustain a lighter tone with very fast modulation is established. The 24" Medium Ride has a very multi-faceted sound that is strongly influenced by the way it is played." - Ralf Mikolajczak
"They have beautiful dark and washy tones. I’d suggest getting this set if you want something versatile. You could use these for most styles of music, and they’d work wonderfully." - Brett Clur
