20'' XS20 Medium ride.
Hey guys. I'm in the market for a new ride cymbal, an upgrade from my Sabian B8. I play hard rock and metal. I'm looking for something with a lot of stick definition, not a lot of wash, and something very pingy. I don't have a very big budget, and I'm looking to get something used off of Craigslist. I came pretty close to getting an A Custom Ping Ride but the deal fell through. Any recommendations (BESIDES GOING TO GC AND LOOKING AROUND :D)?
Thanks :D

The Sabian AA Rock Ride fits that description. It has great ping and stick definition, without the wash. The bell is also pretty decent sized, and is loud and cutting. I have a 21" one and love it, definitaly think you should check it out.

Actually, I just got an offer to trade my 18" AAX Metal Crash for a 20" XS20 Ride. What do you think?

I'm playing an XS20 and like it, especially for the cost.

Is the bell really hard to play?

RIP Frank.............thanks for being part of my journey
deffinatly a good rock ride
The only way to catch a butterfly is never waiting for the wings.
If you want to stay Sabian here are some models to consider:
HH Rock Ride (my future ride )
AA Metal-X Ride
Any of the Raw Bell Dry Rides
AAX Metal Ride (would not recommend it though - just my opinion)
HHX Power Ride
AA Rock Ride (would not recommend this either - it actually sounded pretty washy when I tried it at the store)
