Cymbals

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.

Unique pairing, modeled after Steve Gadd's personal hihats. The hihats feature a slightly undersized (13 15/16"), medium weight top cymbal and a medium-thin bottom cymbal. A crucial aspect of Steve's playing style, the hihats also have an exceptionally controlled foot feel, capable of producing a full range of dynamic sounds using just the foot. Ideal for any playing or recording situation.

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.

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.

Designed with Zak Starkey, these new 21" K Crash Rides create the "wall of sound" that Zak needs while playing with The Who.

K Zildjian cymbals continue to inspire drummers today with their deep, warm, and expressive sounds developed by Kerope Zildjian in 19th Century Turkey. Elaborate hammering and lathing techniques work the Zildjian alloy into versatile cymbals that are dark yet well suited for a wide variety of musical genres from jazz to rock.

Effortless touch and clean sound. This is Meinl Pure Alloy. A timeless voice formed with fully lathed surfaces allows them to be expressive in virtually any style. Their refined nature has two sides: polished definition met by a velvety wash that encompasses a full tonal spectrum. Shimmering, smooth sounds bounce right along with your stick to create a reactive touch that extends through all dynamic levels. These cymbals cut with agility. Blanketing their superb stick definition is a sustain that plays out with just the right amount of strength and balanced wash.

The Pure Alloy Thin crashes open easily with a bright punch followed by a warm wash, then decay quickly for a short sustain. With the swift sound arc, these crashes speak with a pure tonality but never getting in the way of other voices.
