Sabian 21" AA Bash Ride Brilliant Finish

Sabian 21" AA Bash Ride Brilliant Finish

The 21" AA Bash Ride delivers exceptional versatility in a surprisingly lightweight package. Its thin construction and small-bell design give you precise control when deployed as a traditional ride, yet it opens up dramatically for crashing with a huge, stage-eating sound that cuts through any mix. This cymbal performs with equal authority in both roles, making it an intelligent choice for players who refuse to compromise between definition and power.

Design & Build Quality

Constructed from B20 alloy, this cymbal embodies Sabian's proven metallurgical standards for clarity and projection. The small-bell design is the key to this model's dual personality—it constrains wash and sustain when you need surgical control, yet allows the thin weight classification to flex freely for explosive crash applications without sacrificing articulation.

Tone & Character

The Brilliant finish amplifies brightness and cut, projecting a shimmering, crisp response that sits perfectly in dense mixes. As a member of Sabian's wash-ride lineage and a Cymbal Vote 2013 Winner, this model has earned recognition for balancing washy, musical sustain with the attack and projection demanded by modern stages.
