With Sabian cymbals, you're in good company. Located in the small Eastern Canadian village of Meductic, New Brunswick, Sabian has been supplying the shimmer on the top end of countless hit records for over three decades. First-call drummers such as Terry Bozzio, Dave Weckl, Neil Peart, and Mike Portnoy rely on Sabian for the sizzle atop their kits - and you can too.
The 21" 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.
