  • One of my favorite cymbals that Sabian ever produced, they're very hard to find today actually out in the wild - if you do find a newer one, it ain't going to be cheap. Nor will it be as low pitched and dark as this 30-year aged hand-hammered, raw, unlathed, blackened beauty.

  • This is an EARLY ONE! Gorgeous Hand Hammering with a very low profile. 

  • Much darker and lower pitched than the K Custom Ride and actually Hand Hammered.  
  • Weighing in at a healthy 2874 grams, this earlier Leopard packs the penetrating dry, punch that cleaves through a mix. 

  • Check out the close-ups - famous earlier HH ball-peen-styled hammering. This dry 20" can go from lower-volume settings to loud settings with ease. 

  • Low profile, low pitch. Very dark overtones, could easily pass as a 22”.  

  • Obviously, the bell is piercing and separated.

  • This particular 2874 gram 20” has a fantastic stick attack with a bit more complex body than most Leopard Rides. It’s still very dark and dry but has a shadow of earthen complexity.  

  • Whether it's a Dark Jack Dejohnette Ultra-Dry style Ride for jazz, or you need something cutting for rock but you don’t want overly bright and harsh, this darker, earlier HH Leopard will serve you well. 

  • No issues. A testament to Sabian's innovation in their early years.  One of the coolest cymbals they ever made.

  • TRULY DARK.
