SABIANAA Max Mike Portnoy Bell Chime Cymbal 6.5 in.
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The 6.5-inch SABIAN AA Max Mike Portnoy Bell Chime brings a bell-like effect sound to a cymbal setup. It is thinner than a cup chime but thicker than a splash, with crisp, clear tones and a well-defined pitch. Played on its own, it supplies articulate punctuation for rhythms; mounted upside-down over another cymbal, it adds a separate layer of shimmer and texture to the groove.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Placing articulate, well-defined chime punctuation into rhythmic phrases.
- Using alone or upside-down over another cymbal for additional shimmering texture.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players specifically seeking a cup chime or a splash cymbal; this sits between those two cymbal types in thickness.
