Pretty much agree with most of what you're saying here. Although I don't understand what you've got against the HR16. A revolutionary machine and the ride symbol is very realistic especially when it is used dynamically within a song structure. The machine works brilliantly through my bass amplifier and with the additional use of an effects rack I have almost unlimited manipulation. The HR16 for its age is top. Respect D*Style
