Sabian

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 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.

A simmering hot blast of deep, dark, dirty tone -- with ripping bite and rapid decay. All powered by HHX Tone Projection design. SABIAN 18 HHX X-Treme Crash is a Killer Crash! 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.

Like a great recording made even better, the SABIAN 16" Vault Artisan Crash has been remastered for deeper, warmer, more musically complex tones. Responses are faster, full and packed with tonal colour. The Artisan Crash, with its raw bell design and high-density hand hammering, is truly a masterpiece. The pinnacle of cymbal manufacturing, these fine instruments work superbly in any musical setting, whether Rock, Hip-Hop, R&B or Jazz.
