The Sabian HH Pandora 22" Big and Ugly Ride Cymbal is a 22" ride cymbal, made from a B20 bronze alloy, that is hand hammered, with a naural finish. The HH Pandora features a medium-dark tone, and medium-light weight, making this the ride cymbal for all players who like "Blue" notes. Sitting comfortably between the HH King and HH Nova in pitch and tone, it's the musical equivalent of opening Pandora's Box. “Big and Ugly” is the motto under which the Canadian manufacturer Sabian is launching a line of unique, altered Ride cymbals originally from various other series. The defining characteristic of these cymbals is the raw, somewhat dirty appearance, as well as the dark, dynamic and complex sound character typical of all of the "Big and Ugly" cymbal models.
The “Pandora” Ride is part of the HH series. According to Sabian, the Pandora ride is the musical equivalent to opening Pandora's boy: the only difference is that you don't have to open this box twice in order to get everything out of them, because the sound character of these Ride Cymbals unfolds the classic cymbal sound straightaway. The medium weighted and middle dark tone positions right between the HH King and HH Nova Ride and is perfectly suited above all for lovers of “Blue” notes. Relatively dark sounding, this cymbal has a dry, complex tone that is very well suited for blues.
