Cymbals

The 18″ AAX Thin Crash provides super-fast response, added complexity and is slightly darker than the typical AAX.  At the same time, more highs are introduced, which for drummers means brighter highs and more complex lows.

A light, crashable model that delivers stick definition, wash and darkness, our SABIAN 21" HHX Legacy Ride features an unlathed sound control band design to limit spread and wash. 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.

Paiste 900 Series cymbals are crafted from 2002 Bronze in a sophisticated hybrid manufacturing process refined by Swiss hand hammering and lathing. Innovative design provides 900 Series cymbals with greater flexibility, resulting in a giving feel and outstanding playability at a modest price.

Spectacularly clean clear and articulate.
Zildjian's innovative "over-hammering" technique applied to very thin splashes for the first time. Creates a uniquely dry Splash sound with more clarity, a quicker attack and faster decay. Perfect for all contemporary music demands.
Drawing from the spirit of the legendary K Zildjian range, K Custom cymbals are dark, rich and dry and enable today's drummers to utilize complex K sounds in a more modern musical environment. They feature traditional K hammering, plus a variety of additional modern hammering techniques that produce unique sonic capabilities. Recommended for modern jazz, studio, country and medium rock. K Customs are designed with today's diverse music scene in mind.

The Byzance Dual chinas are already popular for their explosiveness and trashy tonality. By adding holes throughout, the response is much faster and offers more cut. The sustain is also shorter, giving you a cymbal that reacts quickly then gets out of the way so that your other cymbals and sounds on your kit can be heard.

Using the 16” XSR Fast Crash as a starting point, SABIAN has applied the highly-effective and successful B8 Pro double-ring O-Zone hole design to a B20 cast cymbal for the first time.

Dark, warm, low-pitched crash. Fast decay. Complex, full-bodied. Very musical.
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 Extra Hammered crashes feature a medium-thin weight and extensive hammering throughout. They open up easily and speak with a punchy warmth. The attack is quickly followed by a complex roar in the wash that tapers off for a fast decay.
