Sabian Cymbals

I'm sure I'm not the only person who uses and loves Sabian cymbals, who else uses them and what models do you use?

DISARRAY Says ALTHOUGH I SHOP FOR SOUND

Submitted On: Sunday, Sep 26, 2010 - 9:09 PM

ALTHOUGH I SHOP FOR SOUND WHEN SPENDING MONEY AND NOT BRAND LOYAL, I HAVE ENDED UP WITH A FEW DIFFERENT BRANDS UNDER MY ROOF FOR BOTH MY KITS. MUCH TO MY SURPRIZE, I HAVE A LARGE AMOUNT OF SABIANS. THIS 3 YEARS AGO I WOULD HAVE NEVER HAVE THOUGHT. XS-20 16 CRASH, APX HATS, 7 AND 9 ALUMABELLS, AND 8 AND 10 B8 SPLASHES, AND A AAX 15 XTREME CHINA. ALL HAND PICKED FOR SOUND ON A BUDGET. THERE ARE OTHER MIXXED IN TO MATCH, BUT THOSE ARE THE SABIANS. CHECK OUT SOME OF MY VIDEOS TO GET A GOOD CRISP CYMBAL SOUND OF THESE MODELS.

I use HHX Evolution 14" Hi-Hats, Vault V-Crashes 18" and 19" (incredibly versatile cymbals), AAX Stage Ride 20". Love 'em all, especially the versatility of the V-Crash

I have a 10" AA Splash, and even though overall I'm a Zildjian guy, I really like the sound of this splash.

What's the carmine appice shade, I've never heard of that before

It's a cross between a crash/splash/china all at once. It's made of brass and has a lamp shade profile. Mine is 15" and I have a picture of it in the center of my whole kit. The shade cymbal is one of the most unique sounding cymbals I have ever heard and recommend it to anyone for any style of music!
