Sabian FRX Ride 22-inch

General

If you frequently perform in restaurants or intimate venues, you no doubt know the importance of volume. Instead of trying to mute your kit with tea towels or limit yourself to playing with brushes, you can also invest in a Sabian FRX cymbal, which offers all the clarity and brightness of a Sabian cymbal but at a much lower volume level. This means you won't have to sacrifice your playing style and both you and your audience get to enjoy a better tonal balance.

The Sabian FRX Ride

This 22-inch ride is made from Sabian's special B20 alloy, which is a combination of silver, tin and copper. Once the alloy has hardened, the cymbal is put into a machine for hammering. The holes drilled around the bell are designed to filter out the loudest frequencies when the cymbal is played, which lowers the volume level. After a thorough quality control, the cymbal is put away for a couple months to ripen much like a cheese. Finally, it's manually checked again and played to ensure it offers the premium quality Sabian is known for.
