Sabian 20" AAX Medium Ride Cymbal

The Sabian 20" AAX Medium Ride delivers a powerful, articulate ride sound with enhanced control and versatility, making it a strong choice for drummers who need clarity and crashability in one cymbal. Featuring a smaller, raw bell, this ride produces excellent stick definition and precise control while remaining easy to crash for dynamic accents.

Its slightly thinner‑than‑traditional medium weight, combined with larger, rounder hammer peen work, introduces added darkness and complexity beneath the cymbal’s inherently bright AAX character. The result is a ride that balances crisp articulation with musical wash, offering shimmering sustain and expressive response across a wide dynamic range.

Part of Sabian’s modern AAX series—a contemporary evolution of the legendary AA line—this ride is designed to perform consistently at all volume levels. Whether used for driving time, articulate patterns, or crash‑ride applications, the 20" AAX Medium Ride adapts effortlessly to pop, rock, worship, fusion, and metal settings.
