| − | '''Review:''' "It's about 12" in diameter, and almost all of that 12" is taken up by its steep bell shape. The cymbal is very heavy and produces a loud, bell-like "clang" that is piercing. It's designed primarily as an effects cymbal to be used by drummers playing louder styles of music and who want a cutting bell sound. The sound of the Bell is somewhat similar to that of a bell found on a heavy ride cymbal, without having some of the "body" that a regular cymbal has. It has a completely different sound than that of Zildjian's Mega Bell Ride. But, like the Mega Bell Ride, it can be used for ride patterns, and because of its smaller size, the Bell is very easy to position on the kit. Also, Sabian's Bell cymbal does not have an exact pitch, like a crotale, for instance. According to Sabian, Richie Hayward from Little Feat uses one of these cymbals in his setup alongside his splash cymbals for individual accent effects. That's probably the best application for it. Sabian sent us two Bell cymbals for review, and as an experiment Rick Van Horn tried mounting them on a hi-hat stand as you would a normal pair of hi-hat cymbals. The results were a bit bizarre, even for Rick, but interesting. They had a very cutting stick sound along with a loud open sound. It's not very practical, but for drummers who have a second hi-hat stand (re-mote), it might be something different to try. <br>
