The 18” HHX Thin Crash introduces a whole new design to the HHX line. Starting with a round of sparse hammering, followed by lathing, then denser HHX hammering over top, the result is a crash cymbal that is thinner, darker and faster than the HHX Studio Crashes it replaces. A smaller bell also ensures a faster attack and a crash cymbal that trends lighter in weight than most thin crashes. The versatility to easily cross musical styles has always been a hallmark of the HHX line, and the HHX 18” Thin Crash is no exception. If you’re seeking a small, thin Crash with shimmering dark tone – this is it!

Thinner than a cup chime or ice bell, but much thicker than a splash, the 6” AA MAX Chime sounds great on its own or you can mount it upside down on top of other cymbals like Mike does. Crisp, clear and well defined while also fitting in with any melody.

Versatility, versatility, versatility. Hit it hard for a modern sound, or play it with dynamics for controlled stick and sublime shimmer. Apollo was the God of Music and Poetry − this incredible cymbal delivers both. Smaller and lighter than its 22" and 24" cousins, the 20" AA Apollo opens the door to a greater range of pitch to the Apollo family, with more crashable options. Big & Ugly is a collection of unique Ride cymbals from SABIAN. They are big, dark, loose and dynamic – but most importantly, they are huge fun to play. Although the collection contains cymbals that span multiple SABIAN cymbal series, they are all united by their great complexity, versatility and distinctive appearance.

A stick bag that stands! The versatile SABIAN Stick Flip starts out as a drumstick bag, then unzips, flips and morphs into a drumstick holder − making transport a breeze. The Stick Flip morphs from drumstick bag to drumstick holder with our proprietary Flip design. The transformation is quick and smooth − no snaps or special connections required. During the gig it sits right next to you, putting spare sticks within arm's reach. When the gig is over, it quickly folds back into a stick bag and you're ready for the next show.

Using trickle down technology gleaned from years of developing some of the world’s top selling cymbals lines like Evolution, Legacy, and even Artisan, SABIAN introduces HHX Complex, a new line of exquisitely dark crash cymbals. The 16” Complex Crash employs a combination of HH and HHX hammering, a raw hammered bell, and a number of the aforementioned proprietary techniques – resulting in one of the richest, sweetest Crash cymbals SABIAN has ever produced. The versatility to easily cross musical styles has always been a hallmark of the HHX line, and the 16” HHX Complex Thin Crash is no exception.

Designed for RHCP drummer Chad Smith, the 21 AA Holy China is a monster of loudness and cut, the loudest cymbal on the SABIAN roster! The Holy China is not for the faint of heart. The combination of 64 holes in the 21 model, large raw bell, high profile and wide lip creates a unique and explosive package. SABIAN AA cymbals are all about classic sounds. Rock. Funk. Jazz. Blues. It's about tradition, about what made history. And it's about making history again. Bright, explosive energy, the vintage bright sound for today.

Designed for Mike Portnoy, this stacking of a special design China Kang over a special-design Splash or Crash – depending upon which model – provides a rapid-fire burst of attack. The SABIAN 8” High Max Stax features an 8” China Kang over an 8” Max Stax Splash – both cymbals have unlathed edges for durability and power. The 10” Mid Max Stax features a 10” Max Stax China Kang over a 10” Max Stax Splash – again, both cymbals are designed with unlathed edges for power and toughness. And the 12” Low Max Stax features a 12” Max Stax China Kang over a 14” Max Stax Crash. SABIAN introduces HH Remastered – with more hammering, more complexity, and more tone. Much like a remastered classic album is taken from the great to the sublime, HH Remastered adds complexity and tone to each cymbal, delivering unmatched sonic texture across the entire line.

What happens when you stack a 12” AAX Aero Splash over a 10” AA Mini Holy China? Holy stack Batman, you get all the volume, trash and cut you can eat in a dynamic burst of concentrated white noise that would make Chad Smith proud. The Aero Splash top is all about high-end cut, and blends musicality with trash very nicely. When you stack it over the Mini Holy China, with its exaggerated profile, the combination delivers blistering white noise, trash and cut. There’s nothing “mini” about the volume this little monster can produce.
