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.
Introducing the NEW Sabian AAX line
Sabian’s AAX cymbals have been pushing envelopes and breaking new ground since 1993. Today’s redesigned AAX lineup is leaner, meaner, and primed to cover even more ground in the drumming market. Thin, Medium, and Heavy models now allow drummers to shop by weight, pitch, and projection. A new larger-peen hammering process makes the redesigned AAX collection a fortified blend of Sabian’s class-leading darkness and complexity across the board. Whatever style of music you play, great tone awaits you with Sabian AAX series cymbals.
Sabian’s B20 bronze yields depth and musicality
Sabian casts its AAX cymbals from a centuries-old recipe of copper, tin, and silver — also known as B20 bronze. This bell bronze is one of the most musical alloys on earth and, together with Sabian’s old-world artisan craftsmanship, is the secret to the 21" AAX Medium Ride’s ear-pleasing partials and complex characteristics.
