Sabian

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.

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

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.

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.

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!

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.
