Sabian

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.

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.

All SABIAN sets are “Sonically Matched” by our Product Specialists in the SABIAN Vault.  Rather than just take each cymbal off the shelf and put in a box, they are first tested individually and then for overall compatibility with the other cymbals in the set.  This ensures you get a ready to go set up, straight out of the box.  The XSR Promotional Set consists of 14″ XSR Hats, 16″ XSR Fast Crash, 20″ XSR Ride and a FREE 18″ XSR Fast Crash.

Material: B20
