Sabian AAX 22" Medium Ride Cymbal

The Sabian AAX 22” Medium Ride Cymbal adds a new palette of sound to the AAX line thanks to a new hammering process and smaller bell which enables increased crash ability, brighter highs and darker lows.

New Style AAX Ride

Sabian unveiled their new AAX series at the 2019 NAMM show alongside a controversial new logo.

Providing a more streamlined range of sounds, the transformed AAX line sees the introduction of new hi-hats, rides and crashes, the removal of less popular options and the maintenance of the successful Omni, Freq, Aero and X-Plosion models.

The overhaul also brings with it the use of a completely new hammering process which delivers a wider frequency response for improved versatility of tone.

Sabian 22212XC AAX 22” Medium Brilliant Ride Cymbal Key Features:

• Smaller Raw Bell for Improved Crash Ability
• New AAX Hammering Process
• Thinner Feel
• Increased Highs
• Complex Darkness
• Wider Frequency Range

Increased Crash Ability

The combination of a smaller raw bell and a new hammering process means this 22” ride cymbal has a much thinner feel than a typical medium ride and a better crash response.

The hammering process works to create a thinner response while the smaller bell keeps the weight of the ride to a minimum allowing it to open up quickly to burst into bright crashing action.

Delivering lusciously swelling crash tone combined with bright stick articulation and cutting bell projection, this Sabian ride enables you to achieve multiple sounds from one cymbal. 

New Hammering, Wider Frequency

The introduction of a whole new hammering process to the AAX series results in a 22” ride with a completely new look and sound.

This new hammering style uses a larger, rounder peen to deliver a much more visibly hammered cymbal aesthetic combined with an increased frequency response.

The bigger hammering serves to create a ride cymbal with an expanded top end to deliver a wider range of tone, as well as adding a hint of darkness to the lows.

The result is a ride cymbal that offers a versatile range of sound courtesy of its added bright highs and lusciously dark, complex lows.

Summary

The combination of a new hammering style and a smaller raw bell works to give this AAX ride cymbal a lighter feel for improved crash response and wider tonal range.

The extension of the frequency range results in increased shimmering highs and more complex dark lows that enable you to achieve a versatile breadth of sound ideal for a wide range of musical styles.
