SABIAN 20" SBr Ride

Beautiful sound and was for a decent price.

I may edit this to a 5 later on. I am new to drumming again after 50 years away, so, I may not remember or hear as well now. But, this cymbal seems to be lacking 'character' in its' sound. It could be the way I am playing it and the sticks used, that is why I may make this a 5 later (after I get better, if I get better.....muscle memory just ain't what it used to be 50 years ago). As said, here is my edit and a new 5 star rating. The big difference came when I added the Pro Mark S22 sizzler chain: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Dmi&field-keywords=cymbal%20sizzler%20chain. This made a world of difference and I can now honestly give this cymbal a 5 star rating when used in combination with the Pro Mark S22. Note: I did have to cut off a couple of beads from the chain to prevent it from draping over the edge. This is an inexpensive investment and worth every penny!!

It's not bad, does the job for me...

The cymbal has a very good sound. Grandson is happy.

Nice ring for a ride.

This ride cymbal is an incredible value for the price. The cymbal has a warm rich tone and is made of high quality brass. I started my musical journey in 1965 as a pop/rock drummer until the late 60's. Over the years I've learned to play guitars, keyboards and bass as well but this year, 47 years later I've decided to resume playing drums again. This cymbal I purchased from Amazon is one of the best I've ever played.

I recently purchased this Sabian and also got Meinl HCS hi hats and a China. WOW, talk about a huge difference! The Meinl cymbals are heavy, dull and sonically harsh. I'll stick with Sabian from here on out. This ride is heavy, but sonically it sounds really good. The Bell has clear tonal attack and the taper and bow offer nice variance with a controllable wash. This sounds like a rock/metal/country ride, but most entry level cymbals usually try to accommodate most mainstream music. Ther SBR line is Sabian's entry level, but compared to the Meinl HCS cymbals THERE IS NO COMPARISON. Sabian is far better quality and sound for the same price. Their B8X line is even better for not much more money.

I am beyond surprised with this cymbal! Theres many cheap cymbals across the internet but by far this cymbal sounds the best. The sound is very good for $80, it's great for genres such as rock or even jazz for that matter, as a jazz drummer it doesn't sound half bad but of course if you want serious jazz sound you'll have to save up a lot. If you hit the cymbal right, you can get a bit of a crash, it'll have a nice heavy crash sound which I kinda dig. The bell is not the greatest, I'll admit it's probably the worst sounding bell I've heard but it may be better for other players. This ride cymbal is definitely a great beginner option and I'll definitely keep this for a while.

Es una delicia el sonido de este ride ya que llevo con él ya quién sabe cuánto tiempo pero me fascina su sonido muchas gracias

Great sounding ride cymbal for the price. Sabian makes good products for the average drummer.

音は良いと思います。
