China & Effects Cymbals

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.

This special effects crash cymbal has a unique set of laser generated "cut outs" that allow it to produce a quick, dry and trashy sound used for accenting and punctuating. The brilliant finish makes this "must have" shimmer like any A Custom.
The choice of renowned rock, metal and fusion drummers, A Customs feature a brilliant finish and radical new hammering techniques that deliver a crisp, sweet, sophisticated A Zildjian sound, but with a contemporary feel. A Customs are not too dark and not too bright with a fast response and clean attack.

Designed for RHCP drummer Chad Smith, the 17" AA Holy China in Brilliant Finish 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 51 holes in the 19" 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.

Using the 18” 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.

Quick as a bullet, hurts like one too. Abrasive but musical. Perfect for when you need to cut and make your point, but make it quick. The Bullet Stack can be used to accentuate in grooves or fills, or utilized as a time keeper.

"What I love about the Bullet Stack is that no matter how quickly you need it to be present and then disappear, it always delivers."

Authentic "trashy" Chinese sound. Very fast, explosive response with rapid decay.
The Zildjian Oriential FX cymbals are a wonderful accent for adding a bright, trashy sound to your kit. They deliver an explosive response, but with a rapid decay.

K Custom Special Dry are the original dry cymbal remastered for today’s modern musical styles. These raw and earthy cymbals deliver a dry, funky sound with a quick fast attack, lots of dirt, yet shuts down quickly for a powerful expression of personality.

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.

This thin Splash cymbal may be played as they are for airy splash effects. Or they can be stacked on top of, or under any other cymbal to provide an additional layer of white noise. They are a super versatile way to expand your sound and enhance your cymbal set-up. Please note: colors may vary
Add exotic colors and character to your sound by experimenting with a variety of innovative effects and accents.
