Istanbul Mehmet Cymbals Samatya Ride 20", SA-R21Incredible volume, cuts trough pretty much every musical genre, from soft jazz to metal. Incredible tone, and a powerful yet melodic bell. Its really versatile, containing rocky body sounds, heavy and loud bell tones and a great "wash" when crashed, well suited for sludge metal, for instance, although its on lighter musical genres that justice is made for this cymbal, full of color and a wide melodic value. I love it, and its price is fair enough.
