- This is one of the smoothest, mellowist, light and controlled Ride cymbals Sabian ever made! And with Carl Allen's inspiration, it's no wonder!
- What sucks is that this 20" has been discontinued! And that’s a shame because they don’t offer anything much like it today. And this beauty is Hand Hammered.
- Fortunately, you need to roam the earth for such mellowness!
- This Rare Sabian Signature has telltale HH style Hand Hammering throughout, all the way to the edge. What makes it unique is the smaller, MINI BELL.
- With a pinch more body and wash than a Flat Ride, this Mini Bell inhabits the Goldilocks zone between a Flat Ride and a Medium Thin Ride. The smaller bell gives this 20" an absolutely fantastic stick attack while still providing that warm, lush HH wash.
- But it's a subtle wash and very, very controlled. That’s the magic of the Mini Bell.
- Being 25 years old, This Carl Allen Ride has aged magnificently and has a fantastic golden patina. It's very mellow and for a fully lathed cymbal, it has an amazing stick definition. It's actually pretty focused.
- Semi-dry, terrific pinpoint attack, lush, warm HH glowing wash that is very mellow and subtle. At 1974 grams it plays like a Thin to Medium Thin controlled Ride. Great for crash accents while riding.
- Fantastic for low volume to medium loud volumes. Incredible for any genre.
- NO issues. Absolutely gorgeous. This is one of Sabian's finest sleeper cymbals. You hardly ever see this 20" and it's amazing.
- They don't offer anything like this today - nor does Zildjian or Paiste or Meinl.
