Here is a transcript of the video:
As far as my Ride cymbal goes, I've been a 20" A Projection Ride. It's been awesome I love it. It has a good Ride like ping, with the bell but I can also crash on it and it's always been important to crash on my Ride. But I don't like putting too much thought into exactly where I am striking the cymbal when I am riding. When I am playing fast songs and I am flying around the kit, my heads everywhere. I don't want to stop and eyeball where I am going so to me something like a 20" A Custom Projection Ride is great because I know if I choke up on it a little bit, it gives me a nice ping, I drop my elbow and crash it's going to crash nicely. But I want a little bit larger Ride cymbal. I want to move to a 22" something I used to use and find something that filled the same needs. So today we just grabbed a 22" A Custom Ping Ride and this thing seems to be perfect. Definition in the Ride but like... I can just crash on it and it's just loud, noisy and it gives you a headache and I love it and the bell is nice and clear. This Ride seems to be exactly what I am looking for 22" brilliant finish....but yet I can still crash on it and beat the hell out of it without sounding like I am beating on something too heavy. The 22" A Custom Ping Ride is perfect for me.
