Detail 01
Power weight
Thick metal keeps the stick sound tight and controlled at high volume instead of blooming into a wash that buries the pattern.

Paiste2002 Power Ride Cymbal 20 in.
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Heavy 20-inch ride built for volume and stick definition. For drummers who need the ride pattern heard over loud guitars.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Loud rock and metal where a thin ride vanishes
- Players who ride defined patterns rather than open wash
- Bell-driven parts that need to cut through a band
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Jazz and light playing — too heavy to open up
- Drummers who crash their ride; it won't respond
- Quiet rooms and low-volume gigs it will overpower
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
20-inch diameter
The standard ride size. Enough surface for varied stick positions without the reach and setup problems of a 22.
Detail 03
Ride cymbal
Made for continuous timekeeping on the bow and bell, not for edge crashes or quick accents.
Detail 04
Sold as a single cymbal
One piece. Crashes and hi-hats are separate, and a heavy ride makes lighter crashes sound thinner beside it.
Detail 05
$470 for one cymbal
Pro-line money for the piece you hit most on the kit, so it also takes the most wear.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Use a sturdy stand — a heavy 20 will sag light hardware
- 02Stand, felt washers and sleeve are not included
- 03Heavy rides feel stiff at low volume; try one if you can
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Can I crash this ride?
Not well. The weight resists opening up, so edge hits come out clangy and short rather than full. Keep a crash for accents.
02Is 20 inches big enough for metal?
Yes. Weight matters more than diameter for cutting through volume. A power-weight 20 gives more stick definition than a thinner 22 at the same loudness.
03Should I get a 20 or a 22-inch ride?
20 is easier to reach and slightly higher pitched with quicker response. 22 runs lower and louder with longer sustain and a bigger bell.
04Will this work for practice at home?
It's loud. In a small untreated room a heavy 20 gets fatiguing fast. Hearing protection helps, but a lighter ride is friendlier for home use.
