The Sabian 22" HHX Legacy Heavy Ride is not just a cymbal, it's a carefully crafted musical instrument, designed for drummers who crave a rich, warm tone. Built from the renowned B20 bronze alloy, this cymbal's material is a fusion of 80% copper and 20% tin, known for its wide-ranging voice, bell tones, and dark simmering sound.

Hand-hammered to perfection, the Sabian 22" HHX Legacy Heavy Ride produces complex, dark, modern pitches that can easily cut through the mix. The semi-dry stick sound and the cushion of warm tones create a beautiful musical harmony, making this cymbal a favorite among seasoned drummers.

The bell of this ride cymbal is responsive and produces a bright ping followed by a washy, long sustain, adding texture and depth to your drumming. A part of the HHX Dave Weckl Signature Series, this cymbal provides a deeper, darker contrast than the more open sound of the Evolution series.
