Drum Cymbal Sabian 22" HH Todd Sucherman Sessions Ride

The Sabian 22" HH Todd Sucherman Sessions Ride is a premium, carefully designed cymbal created specifically for one of today's most demanding drummers, Todd Sucherman. It belongs to the legendary HH (Hand Hammered) series, which has maintained its philosophy since Sabian's founding in 1982: warm, dark, rich tones with a truly "live" character. HH cymbals offer vintage aesthetics, organic dynamics, and maximum musicality, making them suitable for jazz, blues, classic rock, and any style where a distinctive, mature tone is important.

Sessions Ride is an exceptional instrument, crafted entirely by hand at the Sabian factory in Canada. The cymbals undergo a complex manufacturing process: first, craftsmen intensively shape the surface by hand with hammers, creating a deep and uneven surface structure, then manually process the cymbal to form different thicknesses in different areas. This gives the cymbal unique response, control, and tonal variety. The cymbal is then hammered again to reveal an even more complex spectrum of overtones and make it as expressive as possible at any dynamic.

Thanks to this multi-stage manual process, Sessions Ride demonstrates very confident stick articulation – clearly defined, yet warm and not too dry. When struck on the side, the ride produces a pleasant, velvety splash, and during more active playing, it reveals a broad, complex, multi-layered sound that does not get lost even in a loud mix. Its crash potential is impressive – the cymbal explodes massively but in a controlled manner, while retaining its musicality. Special attention has been paid to the bell: its pitch is specifically tuned slightly above the main tone of the cymbal. Thanks to this, the bell comes through clearly and cleanly, without blending into the overall sound – it is this nuance that makes the Sessions Ride ideal for studio recording and, at the same time, a powerful instrument for live performances. This is a medium-weight ride with natural control and clear response, made from B20 bronze alloy, providing a wide tonal range from dark tones to bright mid-frequencies.

The Sabian HH Todd Sucherman Sessions Ride is not just a cymbal, but a truly versatile instrument with character. It allows you to play intelligently, dynamically, and powerfully, while fully supporting the drummer's style and musical idea.
