I have #33. It's dry, has a woody sound to it, no ping. Lots of stick definition. Like most, if not all, flat rides it is mellow and blends into the music rather than stand out. Best suited for a small combo. I use mine mostly with Lounge Legacy a band composed of keyboard, bass, drums and female vocal. I have tried 3 different ones and they are all different sounding. Mine is the mellowest of the three. I'm very happy I got it.

Think piano trio. I have #33, each one is different. Mine has a nice understated woody ring. Lots of stick definition, not much wash but it builds as you ride it and then maintains. Never overwhelms but you always know it is there. It would probably get lost in a rock band but for jazz and low volume gigs it's unique and yet just right.
