Sabian 22" HH King

Sabian 22" HH King Ride Cymbal

The Sabian 22" HH King delivers a commanding, dark response that cuts through a mix without sacrificing musicality. Its medium-heavy weight and traditional hand-hammered construction produce a complex, controlled tone ideal for players seeking depth and definition in rock, metal, and fusion contexts. This is a workhorse ride that rewards precise technique with articulate stick definition and a rich, singing sustain.

Tone & Character

Built from B20 bronze alloy, the HH King produces a dark sound with mid to low pitch that sits naturally in dense mix environments. The traditional hand-hammering technique creates micro-textures in the bronze surface, generating organic complexity and natural decay that machine-made cymbals cannot replicate.

Construction & Durability

The medium-heavy weight class provides substantial mass for projection and stability, while the hand-crafted approach ensures each cymbal develops its own sonic signature. This weight distribution makes the cymbal forgiving for both aggressive playing and nuanced dynamic control.
