    I Have the 22" medium. I find the overall response to your stick very good with an above average tonal quality. The s ride also makes an excellent cymbal for vintage songs.

    The 20" S Med Ride over-all sounds pretty good. Its a great starting point within the S Family rides with very clear tones that resonate with some nice sustain. I have noticed a slight undertone that can get a little heavy at times. I stuck a Honey Gel halfway across the cymbal from the bell to the Zildjian etching and it really helps take out most of it while still maintaining the cymbals tonal integrity.
