The bell, the versatility, the awesomeness!
By J. Rand
I've never been a fan of crash/rides, as they seem to be best for playing N.O./Memphis Jazz. Never "got" the "need" for the crash/ride until this beautiful cymbal. While TECHNICALLY I'd call it a "ride with well-hidden crash personalities", this ride has some bizarre, otherworld ability to open up just right, and close down perfectly, like it knows exactly where you're headed. Sounds crazy and way too heavy on the praise? Wait until you experience the BELL! It goes without saying, of course, that you have to know how to play a ride bell to extract all the nuance out of it. If you have the ability, you will never part with this cymbal. The bell is one of those once-in-a-lifetime sounds that happens on accident (I imagine, since it is an AA, which gets little hands on attention compared to the other Sabian lines). The bell can handle any style of music, and it has a pitch that carves out its own sonic space. And it's so unassuming compared to some of these "MEGABELL/210" BELL!" disasters we've seen lately. I've own two and have played several others, and the sound is quite consistent - a Sabian hallmark. Never thought about it before, but this cymbal really IS for a more advanced ride player. But, if you START OUT with it, it can definitely help develop your ride playing into something well past the norm.
