I've been looking for a new ride cymbal to replace my PST 5 Rock Ride, and during my vetting process I've narrowed my selection down to four candidates: Sabian AA Raw Bell Dry Ride, 22" Paragon, AA Metal-X ride, and the 22" Paiste Alpha Rock Ride. The Alpha Rock Ride I love because of it's large bell and the tone the bell has, but the bow doesn't have as solid a tone as I'd like, too light and shimmery for my purposes. I wanted to check out the Alpha Metal Ride too because I've found a couple for cheap online, but none of the stores around me had one I could try out.
Just wondering if someone who has tried/owned it can offer any idea of how it sounds compared to the Rock version or any of the others I listed?
