Description:

Topped by a raw, unlathed bell, this 21 inch medium-heavy model is designed to deliver strong, dry stick articulation with a touch of tone at every volume. The raw bell responds with a bright, extremely solid note, while strokes across the bow area are consistently strong and cutting. A powerful cymbal by design, the Raw-Bell Dry Ride delivers solid sticking, but with a tonal quality that makes this a surprisingly musical and versatile 'dry' design. The bright, traditional sound of AA offers a distinct contrast to the darker, traditional sound of the Hand Hammered series. Starting with B20 bronze multi-rolled and processed for maximum durability before being shaped to a high profile under 75 tons of hydraulic pressure and machine hammered for a tonal consistency, AA cymbals are energized, bright and musical. A versatile series with some very specialized models, AA is ideal for any music requiring bright tonal presence, power and cut. The AA Raw-Bell Dry Ride is crafted from SABIAN B20 cast bronze, the worlds most musical and durable cymbal metal. It is - like all AA cymbals - quality-protected by the SABIAN One-Year Warranty.
