SABIAN 22" HHX BFM World RIDE

SABIAN 22" HHX BFM World Ride Cymbal

The 22" HHX BFM World Ride delivers a punchier, more abrupt response than lighter rides, with excellent stick definition that cuts through the mix while maintaining a warm, supportive wash underneath. Developed in collaboration with Brian Frasier-Moore, this medium-weight ride balances clear attack and presence with genuine crash-ability, allowing drummers to transition seamlessly between riding patterns and full crashes without losing articulation or reliability on the road.

Tone & Acoustic Character

A large, clear, cutting bell projects definition and punch across the cymbal's playing surface, while the proprietary HHX Tone-Control hammering creates deep, visible hammer marks that contribute to its complex tonal character. The sound control edge lowers the cymbal's profile and adds crash-ability, enabling quick crash and recovery without sacrificing clarity or returning to the bow—critical for live setlists that demand both definition and presence.

Design & Construction

Hand-hammered B20 bronze alloy construction combined with traditional finish delivers the sonic complexity and responsiveness expected from premium SABIAN craftsmanship. The medium weight classification positions this ride as a versatile workhorse suitable for dynamic playing styles that demand both definition and presence, with the durability to handle nightly gigs and studio sessions alike.
