SABIAN 22" HHX MAX RIDE

SABIAN 22" HHX MAX RIDE

The 22" HHX MAX RIDE is a medium/heavy powerhouse built for live stages where your kick and snare need to lock in tight and cut through a dense mix. This ride delivers substantial, focused stick definition paired with surprising crashability—combining the classic HH Rock Ride's road-tested reliability with the HHX series' articulate character. On stage, it handles both steady timekeeping and dynamic crashes with equal authority, letting you anchor your drumming without sacrificing musicality or presence.

Tone & Construction

Built from B20 bronze with a hybrid hammering technique that merges HH and HHX workmanship, this ride features lathing across the bow (top and bottom surfaces) while preserving an un-lathed, heavily hammered bell for complex sustain. The combination produces a low-pitched yet cutting tone with exceptional clarity—the kind of projection that carries in rock, progressive, and high-volume ensemble settings where definition cuts through the wall of sound.

Design & Build

At 3352g–3601g, the medium/heavy weight classification provides stability and punch without the weight fatigue that accumulates during a long night's gigging. The brilliant finish enhances the brightness of the stick attack, while the unlathed bell design ensures organic bell tones that respond dynamically to both soft mallets and hard sticks—letting you shape your cymbal voice across a full range of dynamics.
