Review: "The PRO Sonix ride has a high fundamental pitch for plenty of cut, but with a complex undercurrent. I compared it to my old Sabian 20" AA medium ride, and found the PRO Sonix to have a more clearly defined high voice. Another interesting discovery in my side-to-side comparison occurred when I struck each cymbal once, as if playing a single ride beat, and then dampened the cymbal using two fingers. My AA ride stopped vibrating almost at once, while the PRO Sonix took several seconds to stop. My impression was that there was lots going on inside it; that radial hammering pattern was definitely hard at work."
Stick response is lively and active on the PRO Sonix ride. Even very quick ride patterns come through with great clarity.
And just where did Sabian go for the metal in these cymbals anyway—The Land of Killer Bells? Every cymbal that I tested had amazing bell clarity and cut—and I mean from the ride right down to the splashes. Stunning!"
