Sabian 20" XS20 Medium Ride

Sabian explained this ride the best: “A tasty balance of stick definition and tonal wash”. I absolutely can’t get enough of it! It has a glassy high end with good stick definition lying comfortably over a nice cushion of wash. The bell of it is pretty small, and that is my only complaint in this cymbal. I sometimes miss the bell or even forget it exists and find myself hitting it instead of the bow. If you were to ask me to define a bell of a cymbal when hit, I would say it’s a huge burst of overtones. That’s exactly what I would have defined it earlier, and exactly what this ride confirms for me. It bursts with high pitched overtones. I asked my cousin to play the cymbal a bit and found that the bell projects very well. For its size, I thought it would be a little bit quieter than it is. I guess I was wrong. It looks great, and sounds great for a very reasonable price. What more can you ask for? It sounds almost like the dream ride inside my head sounds like.
