Sabian

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 18” STRATUS China model was one of the most popular models during our extensive R&D collaboration with our dealers and distributors. It delivers a quick biting attack that isn’t overbearing and has a fast decay.

Bursting with tuneful, explosive attack, the SABIAN 19 HHX X-Plosion Crash deals out simmering, dark tones boosted by explosive tone. Also available in Modern Bright AAX models. 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.

Fast, biting and colourful, with punchy attack and rapid decay rate for increased bite – the SABIAN 10" HHX Splash is a Modern Dark Splash cymbal that projects darkness. 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.

With a double 8-hole ring of response-enhancing holes, the 18" B8X O-Zone responds rapidly with a combination of bright explosion and dirty agitation

FRX Rides offer crisp, dark sticking with a buttery-soft feel. The spread is controlled with warm wash that never gets in the way of vocalists or other musicians on stage. No mic bleed at all! FRX gives drummers the freedom to play without holding back., especially in lower volume settings.

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 16” 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 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.

The SABIAN 18" 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

The HHX Thin Crash are thinner, darker and faster than the HHX Studio Crashes they replace.  The smaller raw bell ensures faster attack and shimmering dark tone.  These tend to be a bit lighter weight than a typical Thin Crash.

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.
