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.
Sabian 22012XC AAX 20 inch Medium Ride Cymbal Key Features:
- Smaller Raw Bell for Improved Crash Ability
- New AAX Hammering Process
- Thinner Feel
- Increased Highs
- Complex Darkness
- Wider Frequency Range
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.
