Sabian's Description: <<< - >>>
Review: "The AA Bash ride is a crash/ride version of Sabian's existing Raw Bell Dry ride. Available in 21" and stadium-sized 24" diameters, its thin profile, tight lathing and shallow bell make it an intriguing prospect.

The Bash rides are so named because of their crashing capabilities, but they make the most precise, almost delicate, of ride cymbals. The 21" model produces a tight stick sound above a murmuring wash and will sit there all set, if you wish. The larger ride has a little more spread, a wider tone and the wash is on the vocal side but it remains manageable - if treated with respect.

Crash either of them though and they rear up in a wave of sound. The smaller cymbal is loud yet relatively mellow with it. The 24" drenches everything within a 6ft radius with an ocean-sized wash. Definitely one for lovers of 26" bass drums."
