Sabian - 22214XC AAX 22" Heavy Ride

The Sabian 22214XC cymbal is distinguished by a heavy mid-range thickness that remains slightly thinner than a classic heavy, allowing it to gain in nuance without losing its main role. You'll find a brilliant tone, supported by the B20 alloy and regular hammering that enhances control. Thanks to this construction, the ride remains stable even when you turn up the volume, while still allowing an element of complexity to emerge in the lower registers.

The raw bell adds a clean attack that's easily integrated into a heavier mix. Because the model responds well to changes in dynamics, you can move from precise to more forceful playing without a break. Dynamic Focus technology helps to maintain this consistency, maintaining clarity and precision throughout the volume range.

As a result, the cymbal shows a certain balance between power, brilliance and depth. This responsiveness makes it possible to string together tight patterns while maintaining a clean reading of the stick. You'll feel a natural rise in brilliance in the highs, offset by the slightly darker bass.
