Built on the success of the original 22” HHX Complex Medium Ride, this Big Cup model keeps the heart of what made its predecessor so compelling; a lush, dark wash and crisp articulation, while introducing a new sonic dimension: a large, high-profile bell. This bold design choice enhances bell-to-bow separation, giving players a more pronounced and articulated bell tone that cuts cleanly through any musical setting.
Categorized as a medium weight ride, this cymbal offers exceptional volume potential. The large bell allows for greater projection and clarity, especially during bell accents and dynamic sections. The stick response across the bow is clean and defined, delivering that signature HHX crispness, while the underlying wash remains warm, musical, and perfectly complex, never overpowering, always expressive.
Whether you’re laying down grooves in a jazz setting, driving a rock ensemble, or crafting textures in a studio session, the Big Cup Ride adapts seamlessly. It’s equally comfortable in intimate club settings and large stage environments, making it a top choice for drummers who require versatility without compromise.
The 22” HHX Complex Big Cup Ride is more than just a ride with a larger bell; it’s a bold expression of SABIAN’s sonic craftsmanship. It delivers the tonal richness players have come to expect from the HHX Complex series, with added punch and articulation for those who want to stand out. With the Big Cup Ride, you’re not just making a statement; you’re ringing the bell loud and clear!
