Have to say I'm quite impressed with it. I've never been a fan of the K series cymbals, the tone just doesn't fit my liking. I've always leaned toward the A series cymbals. However with the hybrid series I'm finding I'm liking them more and more. Bought a set of 13 1/4" K Hybrid hats 3 years ago and an 11" splash a year or so ago. The hats are nice and crisp, the splash is quick.
Now the 20" ride is peaking my interest. (Zildjian you are killing me making me want to spend money LOL) I compared it side by side to a 20" A Medium, A Sweet Ride, K Dark ride (think that's what it was). Side by side the Hybrid sounded better to me. ( sound is subjective which is why I said it sounded better to me) Nice stick sound and articulation, nice wash, good presence, bell sounded clear and cutting.
After hearing that cymbal if I come into the market for another ride I'm seriously going to consider putting down the cash on one of these.
If you are looking for a ride I highly recommend checking one out when you are looking.
