Sabian 22212XC 22" AAX Medium Ride

The AAX Medium Rides feature a smaller, raw bell, that produces excellent stick sound and control, but also increases it’s crash-ability. The slightly thinner than normal weight, along with the larger-rounder hammer peen, adds darkness and complexity to the overall bright tone of the cymbal. The 22" Sabian AAX Medium Ride strikes a good balance of classic B20 artisan darkness and modern projection for studio control and stage output. The Medium Ride yields a brighter, more cutting tone than its Thin counterpart, which makes it at once a more cutting cymbal and a more current sound for today’s rock, pop, and metal. Increased speed and a purer tone are yours by way of the Medium Ride’s reduced-size bell. And new larger-peen hammering imparts even greater darkness and complexity to the Medium Ride’s AAX series DNA, for even more of that Sabian goodness today’s drummers demand.
