The sandblasted top combined with the partially lathed bottom produce an outstanding dry and fast stick sound with a very quick decay. The bell has a clear, bright and articulate voice. Learn More

A light, crashable model that delivers stick definition, wash and darkness, our SABIAN 21" HHX Legacy Ride features an unlathed sound control band design to limit spread and wash. Until HHX, it was impossible to project darkness. But the dark, simmering sound, agitated bite and "Tone Projection" design of HHX makes this series more effective than others. Other cymbals may generate darkness, but HHX stirs up more simmering heat, more musical dirt, more of what drummers want to hear – and projects it. It gets you heard. And felt. HHX "Tone Projection" is an innovative design, created by the SABIAN Vault team.

This 24" beauty is designed to generate wide variations of sound. Thin in weight, it has a dark sound with plenty of overtones. The cymbal can be used as a straight ahead ride capable of handling light playing in a trio setting to a rock ride that cuts that cut through loud, amplified settings. It features a smaller bell and exhibits a moderate degree of edge wobble. Drummers like Joey Castillo, Travis Barker, and Ronnie Vanucci have already made it their main ride.
K Zildjian cymbals continue to inspire drummers today with their deep, warm, and expressive sounds developed by Kerope Zildjian in 19th Century Turkey. Elaborate hammering and lathing techniques work the Zildjian alloy into versatile cymbals that are dark yet well suited for a wide variety of musical genres from jazz to rock.

A punchier, more abrupt cymbal than lighter rides, the BFMWORLD Ride features great stick definition, which sits beautifully atop its warm wash.

Developed in collaboration with Brian Frasier-Moore and the artisans at SABIAN, the 22” HHX BFMWORLD Ride is a medium weight ride cymbal with a large, clear, cutting bell. Its proprietary HHX Tone Control hammering creates large, deep hammer marks that result in its stunning visual appearance and amazing tone. “The design of my Signature ride is catered to those that love a crystal-clear bell and a multi-purpose surface,” said Frasier-Moore. “The surface is washable as well as articulate, while the jumbo hammer does something really special to the tone.”
