Sabian 21 Inch XSR Ride Cymbal - XSR2112B
The Sabian 21" XSR Ride captures articulate stick definition and responsive feel in both tracking and mixing sessions. Its medium weight provides balanced response across dynamic playing, from delicate ride patterns to aggressive stick work. Built with B20 bronze and shaped with hammered profiles and a re-shaped bell, this cymbal produces a focused, controlled sound that sits predictably in a mix and records with consistency across takes.
Recording & Tonal Character
The bright, focused sonic profile excels at cutting through in the stereo image without muddying other kit elements. The re-shaped bell delivers a distinctive ping that records cleanly without harshness, while the flat top surface supports smooth, musical ride patterns that translate well across multiple mic placements and dynamic levels.
