Sabian XSR 22" RIDE
Description
Sabian XSR 22" Ride Cymbal
The Sabian XSR 22" Ride delivers a balanced, articulate response with enough wash to serve as both a primary ride and supplementary crash in mixed drumming contexts. Its medium weight provides responsive stick definition without sacrificing projection, making it a versatile anchor for drum kits across rock, pop, and fusion applications. The carefully shaped bell and hammered profile generate clear, cutting tones that cut through live and recorded settings.
Tone & Projection
Built from B20 bronze, this ride produces the warm, complex resonance characteristic of traditional cymbal alloys. The mid-sized bell generates a defined, usable stick sound while the body maintains sufficient sustain and wash—a practical balance for drummers who need definition without brittleness.
Construction & Durability
The hammered construction with enhanced profiles and re-shaped bell creates a consistent playing surface and controlled sound behavior across strike zones. This deliberate shaping ensures reliable stick response and reduces unpredictable overtones, yielding predictable articulation session after session.
