Sabian 22" HH Power Bell Ride
The Sabian 22" HH Power Bell Ride cuts through any mix with authority and clarity. Hand-hammered construction paired with a raw, heavy bell gives you articulate stick definition and commanding projection that sits perfectly in a live kit. This cymbal's substantial weight and response reward controlled, purposeful playing across rock, fusion, and heavy music contexts—essential for drummers who need cutting power without sacrificing tonal complexity.
Sound & Projection
The fully lathed heavy bow generates bright, cutting tones with excellent stick articulation and a powerful wash. The 8" unlathed heavy bell adds dark, woody character and a strong fundamental pitch that cuts through dense mixes, making this ride equally effective as a primary ride or secondary crash-ride.
Construction & Durability
Hand hammered throughout, each cymbal exhibits the tonal variation and responsiveness characteristic of Sabian's HH series. The substantial weight range and heavy specifications ensure durability under aggressive playing while maintaining the acoustic subtlety that hand-hammering provides.
