Sabian AA 20" Raw Ride (2156g)

[Crossland22]

its looks like its comes from the deepest of the sea

[StewieDSynman]

is this similar to JoJo Mayers signature ride?

[bostondrum]

@StewieDSynman Yes, in that they're both unlathed. The Fierce comes in a 21" and it's a little more hammered than the Raw -- so it's higher volume and more complex.

[Peartnoy518]

This would be awesome for jazz.

[FurlanPaolo]

@Peartnoy518 This IS awesome for jazz. :-)

[masterbeat04]

it's the most crashable dry ride ever! hahaha!

[jquinn57]

Dear Sabian, I love you, but I do not like this cymbal at all.

[sucka11223]

Why get a mallet if it's a ride ? Dudes, riiide :) ?

[eduardoohcg]

I am deciding between three kits: "AA" (from Sabian), "Titanium" (from Zildjian) or "A Custom" (also from Zildjian). What tips would you give me?

[epasurr]

@eduardoohcg a custom and AA are both good, do not get the titanium cymbals, the sound horrible

[TheLpluna]

It is not a crash.... Please... let the ride ride a little more.

[Lehmann108]

The finish is painted on! I didn't like mine and ebayed it.

[paulysci925]

2008 22" high definition or the 21"special dry zildjians are iller if your looking for that sound from zildjian more expensive i think though

[beef7790]

So what would be the Zildjian equivalent to this ride?

[bostondrum]

Zildjian doesn't really make anything like this.  The closest is probably the Special Dry?

[Paiste402]

Zildjian Earth Rides are the next best thing i reckon

[DWdrummer57]

they are awful...

[rusokarolys]

@bostondrum Couldn't the Breakbeat ride be a close approximation?

[bostondrum]

@rusokarolys Yeah, good point. But the Breakbeat is much drier, and lacks the nice bright stick.

[wp08021]

@bostondrum wrong, zildjian has the earth ride, i own one, it is dry as sand

[bostondrum]

@wp08021 Yeah, except that it's probably double the weight of the Raw Ride.

[Wolfparade51]

@beef7790 If you can find it, I thiiiink... the Left Side Ride might be comparable. It's a bit dirtier I'm pretty sure.

[ryanaaxxx]

I think I've made up my mind!

[LORE132]

damn this ride is amazing to me

[StephenFiorentini]

And it also sounds SO MUCH different to the demo on the sabian website

Steve

[StephenFiorentini]

i was expecting very dry overtones, but beautifully balanced, and a good amount of crashability

nice bell too

Yet another great from Sabian

[Nosies199]

just got this today, used for 170$. I got them to drill some rivet holes in there, sounds beautiful.

[Joshplaysinstruments]

from?

[Nosies199]

this place called soul drums in toronto

[KarlovackoFan]

Is this medium thin or medium?

[bostondrum]

Sabian calls it medium thin. But the 2156 gram weight should be your guide. Thanks for watching.

[JackassKing95]

how much for this

[bostondrum]

$245.00

[q14151415]

o that is sexy sounding

jks i like a nice raw ride like that that dosent give to much ring but still gives a nice ping that stands out
