Sabian’s smooth and versatile 20” ride is perhaps the most popular cymbal out there. One reason might be due to it’s affordable price, but it’s also very well made with outstanding sound character delivered in a range of mid to high pitches. Hit the stage or studio with this cymbal and your sound is powered by bronze, often considered the ultimate cymbal metal.
Never one to shy away from high volume situations, the B8 20” Ride gives you exactly what you want in a classic ride - crisp stick definition, cutting bell and a bright tonal response that all work together to create the sonic characteristics and clarity you want at all volume levels. Play the bell area for bright, crisp notes or strike across the bow for bigger sounds.
This 20” ride is also an easy and cost-effective way to add on to your existing kit. You’ll find it to be just right for all the energetic poundings that naturally accompany harder rock and metal music.
Sabian’s precision crafted ride features many of the same design elements as more expensive cymbal models including hammered dimpling all over and a fully lathed playing surface that enhances and embellishes the sound and tonal qualities. If you’re only going to have one ride size in your drum kit, make the 20” ride the sonic centerpiece of your set.
