Smile Sabian equivalent to Sweet Ride


Hey there forum! I was just visiting the local music store, and I was trying out some cymbals. Basically, I like the Zildjian Sweet Ride (20"). It goes really well with my other cymbals, and it's great for wash riding.
I was just wondering if there was a Sabian equivalent to it... my other cymbals ARE Sabian(except the hats ), so I thought maybe the sound might match a bit more.
I'm not being brand-loyal. I really don't mind that it's Zildjian, it's just Sabians are usually cheaper....
If there really isn't anything I'll probably go for the Zildjian, because it just sounds great

Zildjians have a more bright and pingy sound than Sabian.

If that's what you're looking for then go for it.

Re: Sabian equivalent to Sweet Ride


The only way to find out is to play both the Sweet Ride and all of the Sabians you can side by side. Try cymbals made from the same alloy (I am guessing it is B20 because it is cast, but I could be completely wrong there), and about the same size bell and weight.
