Used Sabian 22" HH Leopard Ride Cymbal 11908

They are very quiet actually. The raw, darker one sounds much more unique too. Very awesome sound and I fell in love with the 20 inch at my music store, but the crash is so gong-y and awful. I'd rather pay the cheaper price for the AA raw ride because they sound similar. In fact, the AA may even be a little more jazzy.

Same ride Hellhammer used to use! Now he's with Paiste though.

@burythebody666 i thought he was with zildjian?

[burythebody666]

@dangleesac102- no way he's with paiste now.

Hellhammer used the extra heavy weight version (Old one) of this ride, his ride is more "pinging" than this. ;)

[Paiste402]

i had one of these, sadly cause of the thickness it was actually very quiet. Ended up ordering in a AA medium heavy instead

If you're gonna buy any used cymbal, you might as well buy this one. It will NEVER die (unless you chuck it off a building), I've had my 20" since '85.

@mikper7

i honestly doubt it would even break after that aha, maybe if it collided with a moving vehicle on the way down

I own a 20" HH Leopard Ride and I must say I totally love it. wish I had this 22" baby, but the 20" works fine, too. It's as loud as you want it to be, but it can be pretty silent, too. depends on how you play it. Versatile cymbal, the "love it or hate it" type, though.

thanks and you are right most gigs are miced oh and btw hellhammer is the one that said it was loud as hell.

[kaosM914]

I have heard this ride isnt loud enough for heavy metal, and i heard from another source that this ride is "Loud as Hell" which one is it

[loosenutlambert]

totally unlathed

[SmileAtMyAss]

It sounds amazing if you put the HQ option on.

[rays2112]

Wow, I like that!

[amishrockstar]

If i remember correctly, sabian will gladly do a special size order on most of their upper end stuff. Also, i just checked and its still for sale, you better pounce. Its on their website.
