cymbals

Couldn't decide which effects cymbal to add to my Stratus series cymbals so I bought them both.. and added a splash! :) In typical Zack fashion of course! I absolutely love the new sounds added to the collection and kit. Here is a sound clip of my new Stratus Zero crash and China along with...

Hi mates, I would like to hear your opinion on this topic. It often happens that you have a dream China cymbal or you hear only praises about it from other people, but after personal experience you don't like it at all.

So I knew I needed to change out my sleeves but didn't realize how bad it was! With the price of cymbals, don't let a $6 pack of sleeves cost you $600 or more!!

Sabian announced some new sizes for the Stratus series cymbals and I had to try them out! 15" hi-hats, 17" & 19" Crashes and a giant 22" Ride!! Right up my alley and I can't wait to try them out this week!! I made this demo video for those interested in them. Dark and washy and I love them...

Check it out! Made some changes to the drum room... I'm trying to sell my giant speaker setup and so I took that out of the room along with my old display and put up this other one I had that I hadn't brought home yet! Room is looking good!! Now to figure out how to clean up my tool/spare drum...

I saw an email about the Sabian Rocktagon making a come back so I had to try one out! I absolutely love this thing!! I'm going to add it to the kit for sure! Here's a short sound clip I put together. What do you think of the Rocktagon? Anyone else rocking the Rocktagon?!

Hi All So i'm a huge fan of the Dark series from Impression Cymbals, but I can't seem to get them anymore in the UK. Does anyone know where I could get hold of a dark crash please? Also, does anyone have recommendations from any other makes that have a similar sound to the Impression darks...

I own Eleven different SABIAN Chinas.... So I thought it would be neat to hear them all in order from smallest to largest for anyone interested in buying a china can hear how they sound! From 12" to 20"... here is my Sabian Chinese sound demo!

I recently picked up an 18" AAX China and it just didn't hit like i wanted... so I wrote my Sabian rep and ordered this 19" Xtreme AAX and it's exactly what I wanted! Here is a quick sound demo for you! What do you think and what do you prefer?!

This is my beast of a ride cymbal. SABIAN calls it the "override" and it's a Limited Edition signature series for Jimmy Degrasso! This cymbal weighs in at 10.5lbs!! It features a Raw 8" Power Bell! Intense hammering from both HH and HHX this thing cuts through any mix! Check this monster out!

I couldn't be any more proud to say this out loud and share it with everyone! I have official signed with Sabian Cymbals!! I am a proud new member of the...

A great resource for all things cymbal-related is the Cymbal Wiki http://www.cymbal.wiki/wiki/Main_Page Since it's a Wiki the amount of knowledge offered here will grow over time. Currently there's a lot of information available on Paiste and Zildjian, more manufacturers are in the pipeline...

After several weeks of shopping, I got some cymbals to go with my Tama Imperial Star shell pack. MANY thanks to the people here and all the discussions I read on different cymbal tones, timbres, brilliance, and many other descriptors I am still learning! I'm near Denver, so ended up at the Lodo...

Hello guys, new member here, excuse my stupidity: I'd like to seek some opinions on the old discontinued xs20 line from sabian. As far as i know, it originally came out in 2003 with the weird lathing pattern and natural finish before the brilliant and normally spaced models in 2012 (correct me...

Ok, I'm kind of a beginner, and I was wondering which cymbals are better, Sabian or Zildjian? I've heard Sabians are cheaper with a better warranty but Zildjians are better quality and better looking. Is all this true, and is there more? I'm on a budget but don't want to sacrifice quality for...
