Love the jazz trio demos. I had more time to listen to the three 22” and I think I would go with the Masters first. The sample with the cymbal solo made me swoon.

Used to joke that NAMM means Not Available until Mid-May.. In this case hopefully it's mid-June!

Bentley’s Drum Shop in Fresno CA. Not on the website yet so you’ll need to phone them.
Man...they all sound great! I think my favorite is the Masters offerings.

I'll take the classic 18" Flat thin 602 used.. when someone bails.
Flats are funy in how little actual cymbal sound they produce (the wood click coming from the stick on a hard surface, basically) What is there underneath or in the crash can vary quite a bit though. Would love to try them in person.
One thing I've noticed is that to my ears, they are most cool/effective at a very fast tempo - in terms of the standard jazz ride pattern. It doesn't "get away from you" at that tempo/intensity like a regular cymbal can. My problem is that I'm not a jazz player, and certainly can't play at breakneck jazz speed. But I think that is where they really shine.

I'm not a jazz player either, but I love flat rides. I used flats a lot in my church gig. Perfect for the hymns and the softer modern tunes. I would always have a regular ride though, for the other more upbeat and louder parts.
If you hear a longer sustain to connect slower beats, rivets might help.

no question the 18" classic 602 thin flat ride for me; I'll wait for a used one
(what they are "calling" a Thin.. Unmarked one I had was 1757g....

It is the return of the era of the flat ride.

From a 2006 Robert Paiste interview: "The Flat Ride is the first and the last cymbal that more or less came out of a gag. That was with Joe Morello, he visited here once and at that time there were these new super thin Swiss watches, he was fascinated with his new super thin watch that he had just got.
He said, "why don't you make a cymbal like that?" I wondered, what does a cymbal without a bell sound like? Well, we were making gongs, but I didn't relate to that, we built prototypes, which surprised us very much with the sound."
