Review: "One of Sabian’s more economical lines of cymbals (mid-priced) is called APX. They are made from sheet metal rather than cast, but they still use a bronze alloy (not brass).

This particular one is the 22″ APX ride cymbal, and I have to say that the ping from this cymbal cuts through like a razor. It has a very sharp and lightning fast attack, with very little wash. So, all the energy goes into the ping. You can ride the heck out of it without developing a wash that buries the ping. So, don’t overlook this moderately inexpensive series. It might have what you need. It can be crashed, but the sound is a little stiff for that. I would not use it as a crash cymbal."
