Sabian 22" Ride FRX

The Sabian 22" Ride FRX delivers a buttery-soft feel with crisp, dark stick definition—a ride cymbal engineered for controlled articulation without excessive wash. This light-weight ride excels in recording sessions and live settings where clarity and subtlety matter more than projection, making it ideal for drummers seeking refined response and sophisticated tonal character.

Design & Construction

Built from B20 Bronze, this ride combines traditional cymbal craftsmanship with Sabian's Frequency Reduced (FRX) technology, which uses micro-perforations near the bell and along the edge to reduce attack and control sustain. The lightweight classification ensures responsive, quick decay without sacrificing the warmth and depth that B20 bronze is known for.

Tone & Playing Character

Sticking produces a crisp, dark attack with a soft, musical body that sits perfectly in dense mixes or intimate acoustic settings. The FRX design restrains harsh frequencies while preserving the fundamental ride tone, giving you a cymbal that articulates clearly without cutting through or fatiguing the ear over extended sessions.
