Sabian 21" AA Rock Ride

Sabian 21" AA Rock Ride Cymbal

The Sabian 21" AA Rock Ride delivers aggressive punch and penetrating power with a big, bright bell and solid, full-bodied stick definition. This is a workhorse cymbal engineered for rock, funk, jazz, and blues players who demand cutting presence and classic vintage brightness that cuts through any mix.

Tone & Projection

Built from B20 bronze—a time-tested alloy of bronze, tin, and silver—this ride produces bright, explosive energy with a substantial, full-bodied response to the stick. The big, bright bell combined with authoritative sticking makes this cymbal aggressively loud and penetrating, ideal for high-volume settings and styles demanding definition and projection.

Build & Durability

At 3271g (median weight), this is a heavy-weight cymbal engineered for aggressive playing and maximum durability. The substantial mass contributes to its powerful projection and sustained resonance, backed by SABIAN's two-year warranty against defects.
