Description

AA

• With light ride qualities, easy response for soft music.³

AAX

• The AAX Thin Ride from SABIAN offers excellent crash-ability and is thinner, more complex and slightly darker than the typical AAX. At the same time, more highs are introduced. For drummers, that means brighter highs and more complex lows.²

HHX

• The Sabian HHX Thin Ride introduces a whole new design to the HHX line. Starting with a round of sparse hammering, followed by lathing, then denser HHX hammering over top, the result is a Ride cymbal that is thinner, darker and faster. A smaller bell ensures a faster spread—and a Ride that trends lighter in weight—making for a shimmering ride with excellent crash qualities. The versatility to easily cross musical styles has always been a hallmark of the HHX line, and HHX Thin Rides delivers this. If you’re seeking a thin ride with excellent crashability and shimmering dark tone, these are it.⁴

HHX Complex

• A combination of HH and HHX hammering results in one of the richest, sweetest Rides SABIAN has ever produced. Big, thin and dark, the hand-hammered raw bell enhances the lows and complexity of its overall tone.¹
