SABIAN 6.5" AA MAX BELL CHIME

SABIAN 6.5" AA MAX BELL CHIME

The 6.5" AA MAX Bell Chime cuts through live mix with crisp, clear articulation and a bright, well-defined voice that sits perfectly in a full kit setup. Its distinctive profile—thinner than a cup chime but substantially thicker than a splash—works equally well as a standalone accent or mounted inverted atop other cymbals for layered textural effects. This is a refined chime for drummers seeking precision and melodic integration in their onstage arsenal.

Tone & Articulation

Built from B20 bronze, this chime produces a bright timbre with solid projection and articulate response to every strike. The tone fragments naturally to sit within any melodic context, remaining defined and cutting without harshness across dynamic ranges.

Construction & Playability

At 299g and medium-heavy in weight, the chime balances responsiveness with durability, responding readily to technique while maintaining structural integrity under regular touring and performance use. The thinner-than-standard profile provides easier articulation compared to heavier bell designs, making it accessible for varied playing approaches across live settings.
