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.”

Benny Greb: "Is it a shaker? A programmed & pitched hihat sample? Is it a crasher percussion effect? No, it’s the Crasher Hats. I wanted something that was super short, dry, clear and high in frequency but still very dynamic that could fulfill a whispering shaker-like role in the music. Tough to get! So we had to create something completely unique. Four separate cymbals sandwiched together. They have different shoulders so they collapse against each other at every hit. The result is incredible. A very unique sound that blends beautifully with ghost notes and other subdivisions, but can also make a very percussive statement. Always sounds perfect without any unwanted noise or sustaining ring. You can hear it on all my recent recordings and it has become part of my sound. Check it out. It‘s such a useful instrument. I absolutely love it." Learn More

Effortless touch and clean sound. This is Meinl Pure Alloy. A timeless voice formed with fully lathed surfaces allows them to be expressive in virtually any style. Their refined nature has two sides: polished definition met by a velvety wash that encompasses a full tonal spectrum. Shimmering, smooth sounds bounce right along with your stick to create a reactive touch that extends through all dynamic levels. These cymbals cut with agility. Blanketing their superb stick definition is a sustain that plays out with just the right amount of strength and balanced wash.
