Ride cymbal 20" Traditional XT Edition. The Traditional XT Edition series started when Robert Brian appeared and wanted the Traditional series but with some modifications to meet his needs for his new projects. The XT Edition cymbals have a new bell shape that is larger than the regular cymbals of the Traditional Series and produces a more intense sound with a higher frequency. Also, the rides have a more focused stick definition and immediate response, while the crashes are very distinct during live performances.
