Sabian 20 Inch SBR Ride Cymbal – SBR2012

The SBR2012 delivers a bright, articulate ride with clean stick definition and excellent cut through a live or studio mix. This 20-inch cymbal responds directly to dynamic playing while maintaining controlled wash, making it a straightforward choice for drummers building a core cymbal setup. The focused sonic profile works across rock, pop, and fusion contexts without sacrificing versatility or breaking the budget.

Tone & Projection

A bright sound character paired with excellent stick articulation gives this ride clear presence in any setting. The bright bell adds definition to bell strikes, while the hammered surface supports controlled wash and blend without drowning out kick and snare.

Design & Construction

Hammered and lathed brass construction creates the focused sonic profile and medium-weight balance that define the SBR series. The lathed and hammered surface finish delivers predictable response across dynamic ranges with the bright tonal character this model is built for.
