A Crash-Ride edition of our Raw Bell Dry Ride - but bigger and lighter! Smaller bell design helps control the sound when you need a ride, or just bash away on it for huge, stage-eating sound.
Combining an AAX X-Plosion raw bell design with an innovative hole pattern, the Aero Crash provides a perfect balance of frequency and cut - it's a brand new crash cymbal design from SABIAN!
If your current ride is causing headaches in your band, you have two options: get a new band, or get the 21" Sabian FRX Ride. This professional ride cymbal is fully dynamic yet specially tuned to keep from poking through a mix. There's no need to pull punches with the FRX series: micro-perforations near the bell and along the edge subdue offensive overtones without significantly impacting volume or range. This makes the Sabian FRX Ride a solid contender for smaller stages, houses of worship, pit orchestras, and close-miking applications. Sabian's lightweight B20 construction gives the FRX Ride a dark, defined attack and buttery-smooth wash that players will enjoy at home, onstage, and at all sound levels.
Inspired by Claus Hessler, the 20" Garage Ride is a versatile model with dry, controlled stick and a low level of wash, even when you dig in. Its smaller size for a ride makes it an ideal all-purpose cymbal that doubles nicely as a very-controllable crash. Medium-Thin with a small raw bell, it attacks with minimal sustain and dry, controlled stick. SABIAN introduces HH Remastered - with more hammering, more complexity, and more tone. As a result, HH Rides sound more traditional and complex. Much like a remastered classic album is taken from the great to the sublime, HH Remastered adds complexity and tone to each cymbal, delivering unmatched sonic texture across the entire line.
A very musical ride. Smooth, warm, and woody stick response and nice bell definition. HH Remastered cymbals deliver more hammering, more complexity, and more tone.
A thin, light design with pinpoint lathing and smaller bell, HH Vanguard is ideal for players who want darker cymbals with quick responses. The smaller cup and extended profile delivers clean, woody stick definition for such a thin cymbal.
Modern players who thrive on exploring a new sonic range will love the dark, mature tones that rise Phoenix-like from this special Ride. If that sounds too much like jazz to you, rest assured it's not. With the most cut in the collection, it's also the most consistent and controlled.
These cymbals are used, returned, or refurbished cymbals that Sabian receives through inventory swaps, trades, exchanges. They are given their own unique surface look and logo and consist mainly of high-quality pre-played Sabian cymbals, including those played by major Sabian artists, returned from consignments, reviewed in magazines, displayed at trade shows, or even cymbals that came through the production process with slight blemishes that ultimately disappear with the refinishing process.
Each cymbal must meet specific sound requirements before being considered for the SR2 line. Once those requirements are met, each cymbal is cleaned and then the SR2 finish is applied.
Sabian SR2 cymbals have their own logo and a unique look, in order to clearly distinguish them from their first-run cymbal lines. Sabian believes it is very important for you to know exactly what you're getting when you buy an SR2, so these cymbals have their own special identity to clearly identify them as reconditioned cymbals.
All of the cymbals are cast B20 product, but there is no differentiation by series at all, so this thin crash cymbal could have started as an AA, AAX, HH, HHX, or Vault. The Sabian SR2s are only designated by size and weight.
The SR2 14" Thin Crash and all cymbals within the Sabian SR2 series are priced based on size only, rather than on the series they were before reconditioning. They are identified only by size, and one of 3 weight categories. This thin crash cymbal is available to you at significantly less than a brand new Sabian would cost, and will not be covered by any warranty through Sabian.
Note: Available supply of Sabian SR2s will depend entirely on the amount of cymbals that are available for reconditioning. They will be available on a first come-first served basis. Since they are refurbished, they will only be available as they are received. There is no warranty through Sabian on the SR2 Series, since the cymbals are considered used; however, these cymbals can be returned and exchanged through our return policy.
