China Cymbal

The AA MAX Bell Chimes Set features a clear, well-defined sound that's perfect for a variety of melodies. This cymbal set, designed in collaboration with Mike Portnoy, is a collection of unique sound effects that combines vintage warmth with modern precision. Coming in three sizes (6", 6.5", and 7"), these B20 bronze chimes deliver a bright, crisp, and punchy sound. Adaptable to a variety of playing styles, they can be mounted bell-down on top of other cymbals, just like Mike Portnoy, to enhance any cymbal set.

The Sabian AA MAX Bell Chimes Set is a trio designed to deliver a vintage sound with modern clarity, allowing you to explore new sonic dimensions. These cymbals, while still maintaining sufficient definition, have the ability to blend easily with any other cymbal or percussion instrument, creating a fascinating sonic texture.

This set consists of three sizes:
- The 6" offers a fast attack with a crystal-clear sound, perfect for fine accents.
- The 6.5" produces a full, bright resonance, ideal for distinct effects. - The larger 7" cymbal generates a unique presence that is heard without overwhelming the soundstage.

In terms of performance, the AA MAX Bell Chimes are all built to offer a perfect balance between power and definition. Their medium-heavy weight gives them astonishing responsiveness while maintaining a pleasant warmth, ideal for anyone looking to enrich their playing without sacrificing precision.

What makes the AA MAX Bell Chimes Set even more interesting is its versatility. Not only do these cymbals integrate seamlessly into any set, but they're also perfect for creative experimentation.

By mounting them upside down on other cymbals, as Mike Portnoy does, you can achieve surprising, almost magical sonic results.

Ideal for curious and creative drummers, it adds a new depth of sound to any cymbal set.
