Cymbals

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!

The SABIAN 21" HHX Groove Ride is a funky blend of stroke and tone in a cymbal with simmering sound and feel. 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.

These venerable cymbals developed during the 1960’s rapid expansion of popular music were faithfully recreated and re-launched by Paiste in 2005. Giant Beat cymbals offer the big, warm, brilliant vintage sound that takes you straight back to the roots of Rock.

Designed with Akira Jimbo to combine darkness and brilliance. Thin crashes and splashes to project like heavier cymbals due to the unlathed bell.

The Byzance Traditional 18” Trash China delivers a superb trashy tone with a medium spread and an agile feel. Its trashy, explosive attack and dark sound are both powerful and nuanced. Hole cut-outs allow the china to roar to life and decay quickly for faster accents. The result is a classic traditional cymbal loaded with bite.

The SABIAN 21" FRX Ride is a pro-level, B20 Bronze light ride that provides dark, crisp sticking with buttery-soft feel. SABIAN FRX (Frequency Reduced) cymbals are designed for playing environments where other cymbals have too much attack.

This 24" beauty is designed to generate wide variations of sound. Thin in weight, it has a dark sound with plenty of overtones. The cymbal can be used as a straight ahead ride capable of handling light playing in a trio setting to a rock ride that cuts that cut through loud, amplified settings. It features a smaller bell and exhibits a moderate degree of edge wobble. Drummers like Joey Castillo, Travis Barker, and Ronnie Vanucci have already made it their main ride.
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.

Featuring a custom smoked-bronze top and brilliant bottom, the Pure Alloy Custom splash has a crisp attack and warm undertone, giving it a smooth response and exceptional tonal blend for use in many applications.
