Sabian AAX Heavy Ride

A larger, rough bell means better crash characteristics, which is usually not the case with a heavy ride. A completely new type of hammering, much more visible on the surface of the cymbal due to the larger, rounder stick, results in a ride cymbal that sounds thinner than a traditional heavy ride, with more darkness and complexity. At the same time, more highs are introduced into the sound, leading to a wider frequency range. For drummers, this means brighter highs and more complex lows. SABIAN has always pushed the boundaries of innovation and employed the latest manufacturing technologies to respond to new trends in music and sound. The AAX Heavy Rides are no exception and are the answer to the call for crashing, complex rides with added versatility.
