Sabian

A perfect blend of musical effect and trash, the Aero Splash is all about high-end cut.  It sits comfortably between our O-Zone and Air Splashes on the white noise spectrum.

Designed for RHCP drummer Chad Smith, the 17" AA Holy China in Brilliant Finish 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 51 holes in the 19" 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.

The right blend of metals can be the secret to great sound. SABIAN was built on that and now we offer some special metal blends tweaked for great snare drum sound. The Phosphor Bronze snares have been created with a tight wind to deliver a crisp and tight tone.

The 22" AAX Heavy Ride from SABIAN introduces a whole new palette of sound to the AAX line. A larger, raw bell equals better crash-ability, typically not the case with a heavy ride. A whole new style of hammering − much more visible on the surface of the cymbal due to the larger, rounder peen − makes for a ride cymbal that trends thinner than a traditional heavy ride, with added darkness and complexity. At the same time, more highs are introduced into the sound, resulting in a wider band of frequency. For drummers, that means brighter highs and more complex lows. SABIAN has always pushed the boundaries of innovation, using the latest manufacturing technology to answer new trends in music and sound. AAX Heavy Rides are no exception, answering the call for crash-able, complex Rides with added versatility.

Thinner than a cup chime or ice bell, but much thicker than a splash, the 7” 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. 

The SABIAN 21 HHX Groove Ride is a funky blend of stroke and tone in a cymbal with simmering sound and feel. Until HHX, it was impossible to project darkness. But the dark, simmering sound, agitated bite and Tone Projection design of HHX makes this series more effective than others. Other cymbals may generate darkness, but HHX stirs up more simmering heat, more musical dirt, more of what drummers want to hear – and projects it. It gets you heard. And felt. HHX Tone Projection is an innovative design, created by the SABIAN Vault team.

Crafted from pure SABIAN B20 Bronze using trickle-down technology from award-winning Evolution and X-Plosion cymbals, XSR delivers unpresendented sound and performance at a price designed to fit your cymbal budget. The fast, bright response of the small, extra-thin SABIAN 10" XSR Splash is ideal for quick, splashy punches and accents that cut in any musical setting. XSR is not a budget series, but rather a line of smartly-priced cymbals that would not be out of place on any drum kit, on any stage.

The Grip Disc allows you to practice anywhere, any time on almost any surface. Its secret is its sticky back technology, allowing you to place the Grip Disc on any surface, play and lift up again without leaving any marks

The 20″ AAX Thin Crash provides super-fast response, added complexity and is slightly darker than the typical AAX.  At the same time, more highs are introduced, which for drummers means brighter highs and more complex lows.
