Sabian Artisan Light Ride 22" — Hand-Crafted Cymbal Excellence

The Artisan Light Ride 22" represents the top of Sabian's cymbal-making craft. Built for drummers who want both articulation and character, it produces a glassy, well-defined stick click that rides above an aggressive, dark-edged tone simmering underneath. This isn't a one-dimensional ride — it responds and evolves as you play.

Key Features

• 22" diameter — standard ride size for stage and studio use
• Brilliant finish for clear, articulate stick response
• Raw bell design delivers a focused, piercing bell tone
• High-density hand hammering creates organic harmonic complexity
• Strong crash-ability — functions as a crash-ride when needed
• Dark, dirty tonal foundation that adds depth without muddying the mix

Ideal For

This ride is built for drummers across rock, hip-hop, R&B, and jazz who need a cymbal with real sonic character. In the studio, its layered harmonics translate well to recording; live, the bell cuts through without becoming harsh. One cymbal, multiple roles, zero compromise.
