Sabian 21" HH Vintage Ride

Sabian 21" HH Vintage Ride Cymbal

The 21" HH Vintage Ride delivers substantial volume and projection with a responsive feel that rewards both delicate touch and aggressive striking. Its high profile and generous bell size create a cymbal that cuts through a full band while maintaining the warm, complex character that defines hand-hammered bronze construction. This is a workhorse ride equally at home in jazz ensembles, rock setups, funk grooves, and studio sessions.

Tone & Character

Built from B20 bronze using traditional hand-hammering techniques, this ride produces the unmistakable warmth and sonic complexity that only hand-hammered cymbals deliver. The HH Remastered line incorporates enhanced hammering that adds layers of tone and texture, creating a more traditional, nuanced response than standard rides in its class.

Design & Construction

The high shape profile with large bell produces cutting clarity and definition, while the medium-thin weight (approximately 2175 grams) balances projection with playability and sustain. This construction yields excellent stick definition on the bow and a prominent, musical bell tone suitable for both riding patterns and accents.
