If your current ride is causing headaches in your band, you have two options: get a new band, or get the 21" Sabian FRX Ride. This professional ride cymbal is fully dynamic yet specially tuned to keep from poking through a mix. There's no need to pull punches with the FRX series: micro-perforations near the bell and along the edge subdue offensive overtones without significantly impacting volume or range. This makes the Sabian FRX Ride a solid contender for smaller stages, houses of worship, pit orchestras, and close-miking applications. Sabian's lightweight B20 construction gives the FRX Ride a dark, defined attack and buttery-smooth wash that players will enjoy at home, onstage, and at all sound levels.
As drummers, we devote a good deal of time and energy to taming our kits: damping toms, muffling kick drums, and trying to mask and subdue cymbals with gels, tapes, and clever miking. The Sabian FRX series works in settings where other cymbals may be too bold, such as intimate gatherings and recording applications. Sabian FRX professional cymbals are not volume reduced just frequency limited. Micro-perforations near the bell and along the edge reduce unwanted overtones for better seating among an ensemble. This same technology gives FRX cymbals a smooth, defined response that will delight players of discerning tastes.
Every cymbal in the Sabian FRX series begins with Sabian's guarded B20 bronze recipe, unmatched for dynamics and musical expression. Dark, rich, and luxurious, the 21" FRX Ride will be a cymbal you keep on your kit in and out of season.
