Your next great cymbal is right here. The Sabian AAX Memphis Ride responds just like you expect that it should, with a dry stick sound, controlled wash, a raw, cutting bell and a crashable edge for emphatic accents.
The raw surface is cut with encircling grooves of single-line lathing. The result is a high quality cymbal with an innovative design and a superior sonic personality that leaves you in control no matter what kind of music you like to play.
The Sabian AAX Collection is intended for more experienced players, but not necessarily those that fall into the pro ranks. The AAX Series just makes you sound like a seasoned pro by delivering a more consistent sound and volume courtesy of Sabian's attention to detail and precision crafting techniques.
All AAX cymbals feature the "Dynamic Focus" design for the ultimate in modern bright sound and a cutting response that's able to rise above the surrounding sounds from other instruments.
One of the better made cymbals you can buy, the Memphis Ride is made of super durable and highly musical B20 bronze alloy with a mid to low pitch range and a brilliant finish.
Some of those in the music business who make Sabian their cymbal of choice include earthy, organic drummer Geoff Hicks who's been touring with Canadian blues legend Colin James, gospel drummer Michael "Big Mike" Clemons who has played with Usher, Mary J. Blige and Dru Hill, and jazz/pop drummer Ron Thaler whose drum work drove the beat of Alicia Keys' top ten smash single "No One."
