Sabian AAX 22" Heavy Ride Cymbal

The Sabian AAX 22 inch Heavy Ride Cymbal blends brilliant crash ability with a wider frequency range to deliver superbly versatile tone.

Thinner Feeling Heavy Ride

Introduced at NAMM 2019 as part of the transformed AAX series, this Sabian Heavy Ride adds a new palette of sound to the AAX line.

The newly revamped range sees the delisting of less popular options, the persistence of successful models and the introduction of all new cymbals.

Utilising a whole new hammering process, this heavy ride cymbal reacts more like a thinner ride to provide greater crash response, increased highs and darker lows.

• New AAX Hammering Process
• Thinner Feel
• Wider Frequency Range

The Thin Heavy Ride

As with all the new additions to the AAX range, this 22 inch heavy ride features a whole new hammering process.

Providing a much more visibly hammered cymbal surface, this new hammering style uses a larger, rounder peen which works to create an AAX ride cymbal with a new look and sound.

As well as the visible changes, the hammering process causes the heavy ride to react in a thinner way than traditional heavy rides which serves to aid crash ability.

The frequency width of the cymbal is also expanded as a result of the hammering process, resulting in added highs that are much brighter, as well as adding a hint of darkness to the lows.

The result is a heavy ride that feels much thinner to provide great crash response, increased bright highs and slightly darker, more complex lows.

Great Crash Ability

The combination of a thinner feeling cymbal and the use of a larger raw bell means this heavy ride cymbal offers a brilliant crash response.

Featuring a bell that's much larger than typically found on a ride of this size, the 22 inch heavy ride is capable of a surprisingly agile crash response.

The full swelling crash ability, crisp stick articulation and accenting bell tone make this 22 inch ride extremely versatile.

Summary

Combining a new hammering process with a larger raw bell, this Sabian AAX has a much thinner feel and an increased frequency range to deliver versatile tone.

Enabling you to achieve a wide variety of sounds from one cymbal, this heavy ride provides clean stick ping, cutting bell tone and lusciously full crash response.
