  • Not a normally stocked item - even at most big box stores!  

  • And if you can find one, it’ll cost you $480 for a stock photo guess at what it sounds like.  

  • I have great news!  Take a listen to this exact cymbal!  It’s a beauty!  And this is one of the driest ones I’ve heard.  

  • Sabian Big And Ugly APOLLO 22” Ride or Crash Multi Cymbal in fantastic condition.

  • One of the most underrated cymbals out there.

  • As you can see, the top surface of this cymbal is RAW unlathed (or just very slightly lathed) on top however the underside is fully lathed providing added complexity to the dry attack of the top.

  • Wonderfully dry.  Surprisingly crashable.

  • Here’s what Sabian has to say about this 22”:
    "Versatility, versatility, versatility. Hit it hard for a modern sound, or play it with dynamics for controlled stick and sublime shimmer. Apollo was the God of Music and Poetry - this incredible ride cymbal delivers both."

  • Sure, but I think Apollo is getting short changed here. He had a lot of responsibility from Olympus. He was the god of music, truth & prophecy, healing, the sun and light, plague, poetry, and more. He was a busy dude. He didn't just sit down appreciating poetry and music. He made the Sun rise every day!  

  • Weighing in at a perfect 2430 grams, this Sabian AA plays like a great VERY DRY and DARK Thin Ride or Huge DRY Fast Crash.

  • As you would imagine, the attack is very prominent-compliments of that UNLATHED/VERY SPARSELY LATHED top- and the the wash is medium dark and controlled, definitely organic and ever so slightly complex---compliments of the lathed underside, however it certainly remains reined in.

  • Dark. Dry. Thin. Bendable edges. Very responsive. Opens quickly and easily. Very quick decay.

  • Great condition. No issues. Gorgeous raw finish. 

  • Can occupy a lot of positions on the kit!

  • Hard to actually find where you can hear it first, buy with confidence!  And far from a $480 special order.
