SABIAN 22" Thin Ride AAX Brilliant Finish

SABIAN 22" Thin Ride AAX Brilliant Finish

This 22" AAX Thin Ride delivers a noticeably lighter feel in the hand compared to traditional ride cymbals, with reduced mass that responds immediately to articulation and dynamic variation. The smaller, raw bell produces exceptional crash-ability without sacrificing the definition needed for ride patterns, while the distinctive larger-peen hammering creates visible surface texture that directly influences the cymbal's sonic character. Built for drummers seeking thinner, complex cymbals with genuine versatility across musical styles.

Tone & Response

The aggressive hammering pattern generates a wider frequency band—brighter highs cutting through the mix while complex lows add depth and sophistication to the fundamental tone. This sonic duality makes the cymbal equally effective as a primary ride or a secondary crash, delivering both definition for intricate patterns and presence for dynamic swells.

Design & Construction

Forged from B20 Bronze and finished in Brilliant, this cymbal represents SABIAN's commitment to innovation in the AAX series. The low weight and reduced-size bell work in tandem with the larger-peen hammering technique to produce a cymbal engineered specifically for modern playing demands.
