Sabian's Description: <<< - >>>
Review: "The larger OMNI has, unsurprisingly, a bigger presence when played as a ride. The note is deeper and a little more expansive, but remains tight and focused, and projects well.

This riding prowess is matched by the cymbal's crashing capabilities. Like the 18", the 22" opens willingly, delivering a luxurious crash that fades harmoniously.

Crashing and riding at the same time is easily done, with the two competing actions seemingly unaffected by one another."

Review written by Adam Jones ("Sabian AAX OMNIs review", musicradar.com, September 5, 2011)

Review: "The Omni Ride has two clear and distinct surfaces: two sounds in a single cymbal. Well-made and versatile: useful for those who don’t want too many cymbals in their setup."
