The Korena take

The 22-inch Pure Alloy Custom Medium Thin Ride is built to balance stick attack with wash across a wide dynamic and tonal range. Its B12 alloy and medium-thin weight retain bright shimmer while adding a slightly darker direction than the regular Pure Alloy line; the lighter weight is also described as bringing softer attack, warmer body, and faster decay. An expressive bow and bright, cutting bell give it distinct ride zones for parts that move from jazz to rock.
