I prefer a Bach 1 1/4 C rim. The tone's big and dark without distortion at high volumes. The mouthpiece is somewhat big, but for the kind of playing I do (the studio here at school tends to gravitate towards that dark, "north texas" classical sound) it works well as long as I keep a reasonable practice routine. It's also the only rim I've found that really lets my articulation pop cleanly. It feels like "home." I don't have to do much, if any adjusting or compensating.
