Sabian AAX 20" Medium Ride Cymbal

The Sabian AAX 20 inch Medium Ride Cymbal delivers versatile tone thanks to its new hammering process which extends the high-end sparkle and adds a hint of darkness to the lows.

Crashable Medium Ride

Unveiled at NAMM 2019 as part of the AAX series overhaul, this 20 inch Medium Ride adds a whole new palette of sound to the AAX range.

Removing some of the less popular cymbals, maintaining the Aero, Freq, X-Plosion and Omni lines and introducing a series of new models, the transformed AAX cymbal range provides drummer with a much more streamlined choice of sounds.

All the newly added cymbals feature a completely new hammering process which works to deliver a wider range of frequency and therefore a much more versatile depth of tone.

• Smaller Raw Bell for Improved Crash Ability
• New AAX Hammering Process

Superb Crash Ability

The Sabian 20 inch Medium Ride features a smaller raw bell which works to keep the weight of the ride to a minimum allowing it to open up quickly to deliver big bursts of accenting crash tone.

Providing a great way to achieve a versatile range of tone from a reduced set up, this Sabian ride allows you play articulate ride patterns and crashing accents from one cymbal.

Despite being a medium weight cymbal, this Sabian AAX ride utilises a brand-new hammering process to achieve a much thinner feel.

It is this thinner feel combined with the smaller bell that allows this ride to respond so well as a crash.

From crisp stick articulation on the shoulder, to full on crash wash at the edge, plus strong bell accents, this ride delivers a versatile range of sounds ideal for a variety of musical styles.

Increased Highs, Complex Dark Lows

As with all of the new cymbals in the Sabian AAX series, this 20 inch Medium Ride features a completely new hammering process.

Utilising a larger, rounder peen this new hammering style not only creates a much more visibly hammer cymbal aesthetic it also serves to produce a whole new sound.

The hammering process makes the cymbal react like a thinner cymbal, expands the top end range and adds complexity to the lows.

The result is a ride cymbal with an increased frequency response filled with extra highs and a hint of added darkness.

Providing a great breadth of sound, this Sabian ride is the ideal choice for a wide range of music styles and settings.
