Take your drumming to the next level with the Sabian HHX Mike Portnoy Max Ride Cymbal.

It’s the ultimate fusion of power, musicality, and cutting stick definition.
Forged from premium B20 bronze alloy, the HHX Mike Portnoy Max Ride showcases a medium-heavy construction that delivers exceptional power while remaining crashable when given enough energy. With blended HH and HHX hammering and lathing from edge to bell, this ride cymbal projects focused stick sound with a low-pitched yet cutting character. The raw, unlathed bell delivers dry and articulate beats, making it versatile for any genre.
Whether you’re aiming to capture Portnoy’s iconic tones or seeking a high-quality ride with a darker natural timbre, the HHX Mike Portnoy Max Ride won’t disappoint. Bring every rhythm to the forefront with commanding presence and stellar sound.
