Sabian

SABIAN’s FREQ design is an exclusive dual-lathing process that results in unique, intensely-cutting crashes that deliver quick bursts of hi-frequency tone, and fill the stage with big, open sound. Although most rock cymbals cut with focused high-pitched tone generated by the bell, the 17” SABIAN Freq Crash gets its boosted cut from the exclusive FREQ dual-lathing process. Once you hear this crash, you’ll want to get your FREQ on!

Designed with Chad Smith, all the volume, trash and cut of the Holy China is now available in a China Splash format. With its exaggerated high profile, single row of holes and raw bell, the 8" AA Mini Holy China cuts better than any other cymbal its size.

With a double 6-hole ring of response-enhancing holes, the 16" B8X O-Zone responds rapidly with a combination of bright explosion and dirty agitation.

When SABIAN introduced the AAX Omni in 2010, never had so much sonic contrast and versatility existed in just one cymbal. With the launch of a new HHX Omni, Jojo Mayer and SABIAN have taken those same sonic properties to a whole new level. While both the AAX and HHX deliver outstanding contrast and versatility, the new dark Omni provides more nuanced tone on the ride surface. This means the stick sound stays a safe distance from the body, refusing to get swallowed up no matter how loudly it’s played. It also adds the dimension of playing with the shoulder, which not only has a wonderful texture, but also excites more of the cymbal’s body without activating the crash. The 22” HHX Omni delivers the ultimate in sonic contrast and versatility, both on its own or with other cymbals. It’s a go-anywhere-play-anywhere cymbal, and you can play any gig with the HHX Omni.

AAX Medium Crashes provide boosted projection and quick response.  As with other crashes in the AAX range, more highs are introduced which means brighter overall tone with more complex lows.

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 SABIAN 21" XSR Ride is a bold, punchy ride cymbal, ideal for most musical styles. A tasty balance of stick definition and tonal wash ensures a clean, musical sound at all volumes, with a mid-size bell for playing solid grooves. 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 SABIAN 17" FRX Crash is a pro-level, extra-thin B20 Bronze crash that delivers quick, shimmering response and exceptionally soft feel. SABIAN FRX (Frequency Reduced) cymbals are designed for playing environments where other cymbals have too much attack. They are NOT low volume cymbals.

The 22″ AAX Thin Ride from SABIAN offers excellent crash-ability and is thinner, more complex and slightly darker than the typical AAX.  At the same time, more highs are introduced.  For drummers, that means brighter highs and more complex lows.

With a full range of frequency and sonic versatility, the STRATUS series is designed for the modern drummer. Crafted from B20 bronze and featuring STRATUS high impact hammering, this series features clear articulation, a warm wash and musical spread, and strikes the right balance between versatility and professional performance in a beautiful design.

The 16” crash is quick and controlled with a lower tone and explosive attack. The thin weight produces a quick decay with a deep tone that sits perfectly in today’s music.
