More accomplished players who play regularly in a weekend band or local music group don't necessarily need the more expensive cymbals that professionals demand. Instead, they simply want high quality, name brand cymbals that they can depend to put out reliable, professional sound and volume, only without the steep professional price tag.

That's why more and more accomplished drummers (and even some well-known pros!) are adding Sabian AAX cymbals to their collection.

With its "Dynamic Focus" design that ensures a clean, accurate response and modern, bright shimmering sounds at all volume levels, each AAX cymbal gives you control in any style of music. You can tap it with your finger or thrash it with your sticks. The choice is yours.

The AAX Dry Ride is one of those cymbals drummers really enjoy featured in their set. It has a fast, sustained response that's free of conflicting overtones for a purer sound with tight sticking and clean, clear definition. That means you can drive songs with a steady rhythm without any of the distracting sounds.

The AAX Dry Ride is precision crafted of premium B20 bronze alloy, which is the same metal higher end professional cymbals are made from. Acclaimed jazz/pop drummer Ron Thaler who played percussion on Alicia Keys' hit single "No One" and has recorded with notables such as Rob Thomas, Ashley Simpson and Sarah McLachlan, proudly positions the 20" AAX Dry Ride prominently in his kit.
