This is my all time favorite cymbal, any brand, any type. It's just such a wonderful blend of dark, aggressive trashiness with musicality and long decay that finishes a section or song like no other. I pair it with a holy china which is better for fast, bright punctuating strikes, and probably would use the 18" HHX if I had to stick to one because it is a bit faster and punchier. The 20" may not be fast enough for all uses but in the right context its resonance really is amazing, and it is fantastic with lighter strikes and mallets as well. I've also had mine for over 15 years, it has seen many compatriots live and die in that time but this baby rocks on.
