Independent shopping perspective
The 22-inch HHX Max Mike Portnoy Ride blends traditional HH hammering with the HHX hammering process. Its lathed bow and unlathed, HHX-hammered bell shape the result into a focused ping with a shimmering sustain, balancing warmth with articulation. A brilliant finish helps the ride pattern remain present in the mix, while the medium-heavy weight delivers robust response and broad projection. It is designed to anchor a groove in rock settings and also supports jazz-oriented ride work.
