The 22″ Sabian AAX Medium Ride Cymbal (22212XC) introduces a whole new palette of sound to the AAX line. A smaller, raw bell equals increased crash-ability. A whole new style of hammering, much more visible on the surface of the cymbal, makes for a weight that trends thinner, with added darkness and complexity. At the same time, more highs are introduced into the sound, resulting in a wider band of frequency. For drummers, that means brighter highs and more complex lows.
