Sabian 7" HH Radia Cup Chime

The 7" HH Radia Cup Chime delivers a cutting high-pitched "ping" with dark tonal character and minimal sustain, making it an ideal accent piece for complex drum setups. Originally designed for Terry Bozzio, this small pitched bell adds distinctive colour and texture without overwhelming a kit. Its compact size and focused sound character make it a surgical tool for percussionists seeking precise, articulate accents.

Construction & Material

Cast from B20 bronze with a hybrid finish, this chime embodies the unmistakable warmth that only traditional hand-hammered construction delivers. The HH Remastered design incorporates enhanced hammering and complexity, ensuring each piece offers exceptional sonic texture and tonal depth.

Tone & Sonic Character

The 7" format produces a high-pitched, cutting "ping" with inherently dark tonality and very short sustain—ideal for articulate, defined accents rather than sustained tones. This focused sound character allows the chime to cut through dense arrangements without muddying the mix.
