SABIAN ZZC022-HH 22" HH PROTOTYPE RIDE CYMBAL - 2452g - FLOOR MODEL

SABIAN ZZC022-HH 22" HH Prototype Ride – 2,452g

A wild hybrid of hammering, shape, and attitude. The SABIAN ZZC022-HH 22" HH Prototype Ride (2,452g) is a one-of-a-kind Vault creation that blends characteristics from across SABIAN’s most iconic series. With traditional HH hand-hammering, an HHX-style bell, and a unique upward-flared edge reminiscent of a China, this ride delivers a complex, unconventional voice that stands completely apart from any production model.

Features & Characteristics

• HH hand-hammering: Dark, smoky, vintage-inspired tone with tons of musical complexity.
• HHX-style oversized bell: Clear, powerful articulation with modern presence and strong projection.
• Upward-flared edge: Adds trashiness and looseness to the wash, almost China-like in character.
• 2,452g weight: In the medium-heavy range, offering firm stick definition with a developing, textured wash.
• Prototype-only design: A true one-off that blends multiple SABIAN design languages in a single cymbal.
• Item may show signs of use and stick marks

Why This Cymbal Stands Out

This prototype is all about personality. The combination of HH darkness, HHX bell clarity, and the flared edge gives it a tonal profile you simply won’t find anywhere else. Expect dry, articulate sticking over a growling, trashy undercurrent—and a bell that cuts through with authority. It’s perfect for drummers who want something bold, different, and deeply musical.

About SABIAN

SABIAN is known for its willingness to experiment, crafting innovative and unconventional cymbals in their Canadian Vault.
