Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
SABIAN’s 22-inch HHX Tempest is a medium-thin ride cymbal with aggressive HHX hammering and a broad dynamic range. It produces a controlled swell when played with either sticks or mallets, allowing it to serve both drum-set and orchestral work. Its light ride character carries a warm, dark undertone through the wash. For players moving between these two settings, the Tempest brings that controlled swelling response into one 22-inch ride.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Drum-set work requiring a ride with a wide dynamic range and controlled swell.
- Orchestral playing where the cymbal will be played with mallets or sticks.
