Sabian 22" Artisan Light Ride

Sabian 22" Artisan Light Ride

The 22" Artisan Light Ride captures a responsive, articulate character with a glassy, well-defined stick click that sits forward in dense mixes without losing the dark, aggressive undertone that defines its sonic signature. This cymbal balances a piercing bell with genuine crash-capability, making it equally effective as a primary ride voice or layered in hybrid configurations where tonal flexibility strengthens the session sound. The thin weight category enables fast tracking response and precise dynamic control during recording without compromising projection or presence in the final mix.

Tone & Character for Recording

Built with B20 bronze and refined through high-density hand hammering, this cymbal produces a sizzling, dark-edged tone that captures richly beneath a crisp attack—essential for sessions where cymbal detail must survive heavy production. The raw bell design generates a piercing accent that cuts distinctly through layered arrangements, while the overall sonic palette records cleanly across Rock, Hip-Hop, R&B, and Jazz production without tonal limitation or muddy frequencies.

Construction & Durability

Hand-hammered construction ensures consistent quality and acoustic complexity throughout the playing surface, delivering reliable, predictable takes across long recording sessions. SABIAN backs this instrument with a Two-Year Warranty Program, reflecting confidence in both materials and craftsmanship.
