Sabian AAX 22" Heavy Ride Cymbal Brilliant

The Sabian AAX 22 inch Heavy Brilliant Finish Ride Cymbal offers superb crash ability, bright highs and dark lows thanks to a new hammering process and a larger bell.

Bright, Heavy Ride

Added to the Sabian AAX cymbal series as part of the range revamp unveiled at NAMM 2019, this Sabian Heavy Ride injects a new palette of sound to the AAX line.

The transformed AAX series offers a more streamlined range of sounds that sees the removal of less popular options, the prevalence of successful models and the introduction of all new cymbals.

Using a completely new hammering process, this heavy ride cymbal provides a much thinner feel for greater crash ability, increased highs and darker lows.

Sabian 22214XCB AAX 22 inch Heavy Brilliant Ride Cymbal Key Features:

• Larger, Raw Bell for Increased Crash Ability
• New AAX Hammering Process
• Thinner Feel
• Wider Frequency Range
• Increased Brighter Highs
• Darker Complex Lows

Big Bell for Better Crash

The Sabian AAX 22 inch Heavy Ride utilises a larger, raw bell in order to provide improved crash ability.

Housing a bell that is much bigger than typically found on ride cymbals of this size, the 22 inch heavy ride is able to achieve a surprisingly agile crash response.

Providing a combination of full swelling crash tone, crisp stick response and accenting bell, this Sabian ride cymbal delivers superb versatility.

Thinner Feel

As with all the new cymbals in the AAX series, this heavy ride cymbal features a whole new hammering process.

Utilising a larger, rounder peen, this new hammering style not only creates a much more visibly hammered aesthetic, it also serves to provide the cymbal with a much thinner feel which aids crash ability.

Furthermore, the hammering process widens the frequency range of the cymbal by adding more highs to the sound, as well as injecting a hint of darkness into the lows.

The end result is a ride cymbal with great crash ability, increased bright highs and slightly darker, more complex lows. 

Summary

This Sabian heavy ride uses a combination of a larger bell and a new hammering style to deliver a versatile range of tone.

Providing the ability to achieve a variety of sounds from one cymbal, this 22 inch heavy ride delivers clean stick articulation, cutting bell tone and full swelling crash response.
