This video should really be called "Bell Comparison".

I've had the Sabian 20" AA Rock Ride for well over a decade or more. Very clean, sweet, musical. Compares well with my more expensive Paiste Rides. Sounds good with a sizzler chain on it too.

I've got the AA Rock Ride :) it's incredible

1.- AA ROCK
2.- HHX POWER
3.- AAX STAGE
4.-HHX STAGE

The 21" AA Rock Ride is perfect for me.

[darrenbishop]

Actually it's quite a good representation of the AAX Stage ride. I have one - it's got a lot of overtones going on. I'm now on the look out for something with much better stick definition and a stronger bell sound. Was thinking of the AAX Metal ride but after seeing this I will definitely check out the AA Rock ride.

Love the AA rock ride! Where's the bell on the stage ones?

[butterman]

AA 20" Rock Ride is easily my favorite

[DemetriusConley]

20" HHX Power Ride. I love how the bell sounds on that Cymbal.

[MetalHead]

i would enjoy hearing more of the bow of each one. sum fun grooves, but i thought this vid was up to show the rides, they're pretty quiet in the vid, compared to everything else.

[nazzare]

@ThrowingItAway ok but where is the 22" one? and where is the AAXplosion ride?
Can't understand why they don't do them...

[abfoot]

@Katsumerisfun Thats not what I was talking about, I didn't even notice your typo. I'm trying to say that the bow is like just as important as the bell

[MatanEyal]

i love metal and i'm having a hard decision between the aa rock ride and the hhx power ride. what should i choose if i want a metal drum kit?

[kimmin]

I came to listen to the ride cymbals. Now I'm hooked on those toms.

[mdclaw]

@sumakabob485 i guess, it's the power ride (HHX), because the letters are in direction like at 0:37 :)
understood?

[TheVelourFog]

@pErCusSIOn240 Cheers for the response and info mate. Just gotta decide clear or coated now.

[pErCusSIOn]

@xxxmartin666 Haha. That took me a while to decide, but I went with coated. Happy choosing!

[alphadelta]

Aax. Best live sound. That's what I play

[ZeBubba]

Man, this editing is confusing. It's ok to let your fine instruments play for more than a minute.

[pinkisforpimps]

@ditto372 and a lot of ppl play the bow. for like 30 seconds straight, hes just playing the bell...

btw, he isnt crashing (aka washing) the ride either..
