SABIANAA Max Mike Portnoy Bell Chime Cymbal 7 in.
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
At 7 inches, the SABIAN AA Max Mike Portnoy Bell Chime offers a bell-like effect voice that sits between a cup chime and a splash in thickness. Its crisp, clear response and defined pitch give rhythmic accents a distinct point in the mix. Use it alone as an effects cymbal, or place it upside-down over another cymbal to add shimmering overtones and further texture to a groove.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Adding clearly pitched chime accents and shimmering overtones to drum grooves.
- Building a stacked cymbal setup by mounting the chime upside-down over another cymbal.
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.
