SABIANAA MAX Mike Portnoy Bell Chime Cymbal Set
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The SABIAN AA MAX Mike Portnoy Bell Chime Cymbal Set groups three chimes for adding focused bell effects to a drum setup. Their construction sits thinner than a traditional cup chime and thicker than a splash cymbal, while their crisp, clear, defined tones are intended to cut through a mix. Use the chimes separately for accents and rhythmic punctuation, or mount them upside-down over a ride or crash to introduce shimmering, layered effects.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Creating several distinct chime accents and textural layers within one drum setup.
- Stacking chimes upside-down over a ride or crash for shimmering rhythmic punctuation.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players specifically seeking traditional cup chimes or splash cymbals; these chimes sit between those cymbal types in thickness.
