Sounds good man! However, given who the people are on this forum, you might want to list the gear you are playing.

Good jams though, I dug it!

I kick myself for not getting the 22 NoLA ride. I bought the 20 and just didn't like it. It never opened up properly. I've seen and heard several 22's this year and they pretty much all sound nice like yours. Oh well......live and learn.

i think there was a 20" in the store when i bought my 22". i do agree that they sound different. even so though, still a quality cymbal, you could always at some point get a 22" if thats the sound you like and use both?

even more so if you play jazz or styles where you have the need for more riding options.

last resort theres always selling it to make a change or something like ebay,or maybe there'll come a moment where you really start digging it.

thanks for checking out my playing, that ride is probably my favourite cymbal.
