Ride en bronze B20 travaillée à la main avec cloche brute non tournée et sécheresse contrôlée, équipement standard pour les batteurs de sessions gospel, R&B et pop moderne.
The Sabian HHX 21" Raw Bell Dry Ride has cemented itself as a modern industry standard for a reason: it solves the 'runaway wash' problem without sacrificing musicality. The craftsmanship of the B20 bronze is evident in its complex tonal profile. While many dry rides can feel clunky or 'dead,' the HHX hammering"utilizing a larger peen for deeper displacement"ensures a dark, simmering warmth sits just beneath a crisp, crystalline stick 'ping.'
The unlathed bell is the standout feature; it is piercing and functionally distinct from the bow, offering a clear, cutting 'chonk' that excels in funk, fusion, and rock contexts. For recording engineers, this cymbal is a dream because it naturally sits in the mix without needing heavy EQ to tame overtones. However, players should note its limitations: this is strictly a ride. Because of its weight and dry character, it doesn't open up well as a crash, sounding somewhat choked when struck on the edge. It lacks the buttery 'give' of a thin jazz ride, but for drummers who prioritize rhythmic articulation and a bell that can cut through a wall of guitars, it's nearly peerless. At over $500, it's a significant investment, but it's a 'forever' cymbal that fits almost any professional stage.
