Detail 01
22 inches
Big diameter means longer sustain and lower pitch than a standard 20-inch ride, with a slower response.

Independent shopping perspective
22-inch crash/ride hybrid from Sabian's AAX line. For drummers who want one cymbal to cover ride patterns and full crashes on a small kit.

Strong match

What matters in use
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 01
Big diameter means longer sustain and lower pitch than a standard 20-inch ride, with a slower response.
Detail 02
Built to be played both as a ride and crashed outright, so it washes up more than a dedicated ride.
Detail 03
AAX is Sabian's brighter, more cutting line, so it stays present rather than dark and dry.
Detail 04
Sits in the professional single-cymbal bracket, above student packs and below top-tier hand-hammered lines.
Detail 05
Mounts on a straight or boom stand to your right; it is not a hi-hat or splash replacement.
Final check
Product questions
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
That is the point of the design. It rides with a defined bell and crashes fully, so a small kit can run one cymbal plus hi-hats.
Physically it needs clearance and a solid stand, but plenty of compact kits run a single large crash/ride. Measure your setup first.
The 22 is lower pitched with longer sustain and more wash. The 18 responds faster, sits higher and takes less space.
No. It ships as the cymbal alone, so budget for a stand, sleeve and felts if you do not already have them.
