Detail 01
20-inch diameter
The default ride size. Enough surface for clear stick definition without the sluggish response of a 22.

SABIANSBR Ride Cymbal 20 in.
1/3
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
20-inch entry-level ride from SABIAN's SBR line. For a first kit, a practice room, or a cheap backup ride.
Strong match
Who this is for
- First acoustic kit that shipped without a real ride
- Rehearsal room where cymbals get abused by many drummers
- Backup ride for gigs you don't want to risk good metal on
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Recording sessions where cymbal tone is exposed and scrutinized
- Loud rock or metal players wanting a cutting bell and long wash
- Players stepping up from an entry kit expecting a pro-line voice
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
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 02
Ride, not crash
Built to be played for time on the bow, not smashed on the edge. Crashing it repeatedly shortens its life.
Detail 03
Entry-level line
Expect a shorter, drier decay and less stick separation than a hand-hammered cymbal costs three times this.
Detail 04
$119.99 single cymbal
Priced as a standalone piece. Cheaper per cymbal than a matched box set only if you need just the ride.
Detail 05
SBR series
SABIAN's budget tier, so it voices consistently with other SBR pieces if you build the set out.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01No stand, felts, sleeve or wing nut included — check what your hardware already has
- 02A cymbal sleeve is mandatory; metal-on-metal contact will crack the hole
- 03Sold as one cymbal, not a set
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is 20 inches the right ride size for a beginner?
Yes. 20 inches is the standard ride diameter and the safest first choice — good stick definition, manageable weight, fits any standard cymbal stand.
02Can I use this as a crash too?
You can, but a ride is heavier and not designed for hard edge hits. Doing it often risks cracking. Get a dedicated crash if you crash a lot.
03Does it come with a stand?
No. This is the cymbal only. You need a cymbal stand plus felts, a sleeve and a wing nut to mount it.
04Will it match my other SABIAN cymbals?
It matches other SBR cymbals. Against SABIAN's higher lines it will read darker and shorter, so it won't blend seamlessly with those.
