Sabian AA 21'' Raw Bell Dry Ride piatto

Descrizione

In 1981, after his older brother Armand became head of the Zildjian company, Robert Zildjian decided to leave his family's company and start anew. Then, armed with years of experience and a great knowledge of the trade, he founded his own cymbal manufacturing company, Sabian, which he named after his three children, Sally, Bill and Andy (SaBiAn). Since then, Sabian has grown into a well-respected manufacturer of cymbals and counts itself as one of the 'Big Four', along with Zildjian, Paiste and Meinl.

Sabian AA series

Sabian classifies the AA series as 'Vintage Bright', indicating that these cymbals aim for a more classic sound and tone, while also achieving a bright sound that matches well with virtually any music style. The AA stands for 'automated anvil', referencing the fact that these are machine-made cymbals – though those machines are still operated by the master craftsmen at Sabian, of course. This partly automated process allows Sabian to create a line of cymbals that have a specific sound that does not vary much from cymbal to cymbal, whereas no two hand-hammered cymbals are exactly the same.

Sabian AA 21-inch Raw Bell Dry Ride cymbal

The 21-inch AA Raw Bell Dry Ride is an extremely versatile cymbal, and it will be a great addition to your drum set regardless of your style of music. It has a well-defined, dry stick response that always gives you a hint of tone. Furthermore, when you hit the unlathed (raw) bell, you'll get a powerful, bright punch that clearly stands out. When played on the edge, this cymbal is quite crashable and produces a great wash.
