Sabian 22" HH Power Bell Ride

Sabian 22" HH Power Bell Ride

The 22" HH Power Bell Ride delivers commanding projection and articulate stick definition through hand-hammered construction and a raw, heavy bell—a cymbal built for drummers working in rock, fusion, and heavy music who demand cutting power without sacrificing tonal complexity. This ride rewards controlled, purposeful playing and cuts cleanly through dense mixes, functioning equally well as a primary ride or secondary crash-ride. The substantial weight and aggressive character make it a natural choice for players who need both presence and acoustic subtlety.

Sound & Projection

The fully lathed heavy bow generates bright, cutting tones with excellent stick articulation and a powerful wash. The 8" unlathed heavy bell adds dark, woody character and a strong fundamental pitch that cuts through dense mixes without muddying the mix or losing definition.

Construction & Durability

Hand-hammered throughout, each cymbal exhibits the tonal variation and responsiveness characteristic of Sabian's HH series. The substantial weight range and heavy specifications ensure durability under aggressive playing while maintaining the acoustic subtlety that hand-hammering provides—a proven design refined and in production since 1991.
