Hello Fellow Apes,

I'm in dire need of opinions on the 21" Sabian HH Raw Bell Dry Ride and
21" Andre Ceccarelli Rides. How well do these 2 crash? Wash qualities?
Overtones? Bell? Ping, tick, taah?
I'm currently using a Zildjian 20" K Custom Medium Ride (script
labeling) as my main ride and it's OK (a little bright to me) but not
what I'm hearing in my head as my optimal main all purpose ride.

Help?

I have the HH Raw Bell and glove it. Never heard or played the other.

To my ears, the Raw Bell is like an A Ping, only a much sweeter / less
clangy ping and overtones. Some wash, but not alot. I can't see
using any crash qualities, it's too heavy for that. Really good bell.

I agree... I bought mine (21 HH RBDR) based on everyone's thought in here.
What a hit it is..

It's like a ping just better. Listen to some Phil Collins as that is what he
used on some records I believe. Also check Sabian.com and listen to them in
the cymbal sampler if you haven't already

I have the Sabian as my main ride. I love it. I wouldn't recommend
universally but it suits my style. Its very pingy with what I would call a
nice "round" tone. The bell is large and loud. The wash, however, is very
short and therefore rules out recommendation as an everyman's ride.

I like my Raw Bell ride too :^) I call it a dry-er ping sound, and the bell
has a different quality than the cymbal sound which is why I got it. You
ain't gonna wanna crash it though!

I glove mine as well. Also recently picked up a 20" HH Classic Ride on the
Bay which is real nice as well.

I agree. My HH Raw Bell is my favorite of all time.
I have the Phil Collins signature but it is the exact same cymbal

Hi mate, I've got 2 21" Andre Ceccarelli Rides, they're simply the best ride cymbals I've ever heard and played (and I've played hundreds). They crash like butter, beautiful wash and the best bell on the planet. Here are some videos of me using them:
