Sabian has just updated their website with some of the new cymbals for display at this year’s Winter NAMM Show. This is just a glimpse of what’s to come for the exciting New Year Sabian has planned for its consumers. If you can’t make it to this year’s show make sure you check back with us for the exclusive video review from Drummer Connection as Sabian will be giving us an inside look on what to expect from these magnificent cymbals.

11-in Alu Bell

"Along with the Chopper, the Alu Bell is small enough to fit anywhere in a drum or percussion set-up, and because it has such a well balance of stick stroke and tone, it can be used to play rhythms or simply to add ambient accents," commented SABIAN Cymbal Specialist Kevin Lasky. "Its small size and light weight make it ideal for use with a cymbal stacker arm, which eliminates the need to purchase another cymbal stand."

15-in APX Solid Hats

"For sheer cut and power, APX Solid models are ideal because they deliver an extremely bright, tightly focused and high-powered glassy sound that cuts through the loudest and heaviest bands," said SABIAN Product Specialist David Williams. "These 15-inch Solid Hats deliver fast, crisp and clear, so even the most complex strokes are heard through the music."

AAX Raw Bell Dry Ride

"The Raw Bell Dry Ride design is possibly the single most versatile and effective ride cymbal ever designed," said SABIAN Master Product Specialist Mark Love. "Not only does this AAX model deliver consistently bright and pure sounds, it is ideal for any player wanting the absolute best in terms of consistently pure and bright stick definition across the bow and bell areas, as well as a level of dynamic sensitivity that ensures crisp clarity and accuracy at all volumes."

AAX X-Plosion Fast Crash

"The AAX X-Plosion Fast Crash is great for players wanting a big, explosive response with a faster, brighter sound," said SABIAN Master Product Specialist Mark Love. "Its AAX 'Dynamic Focus' design means it responds accurately at all volume levels, so it's fast and glassy, as well as is extremely versatile with bright, explosive attack, penetrating definition and total presence.

AAX X-Plosion Splash

"The AAX X-Plosion Splash is like a small version of the X-Plosion Crash; it's got that quick, modern bright response and full attack that shoots out of the metal," said SABIAN Cymbal Specialist Kevin Lasky. "This is a splash that combines cut and punch for a full, faster and glassier splash."

NEW Artisan Crash

"Artisan crashes have been the single most requested SABIAN model since the introduction of the Artisan Ride," noted SABIAN Product Specialist David Williams. "The Artisan Ride reminded drummers of the real value of traditional hand hammered cymbal craftsmanship. As a result we had so many requests for similar hats and crashes that we researched early cymbal designs then designed what we feel is a better traditional crash. This Artisan model has that soft, warm, deeply musical tone drummers have been asking for."

Artisan Hats

"Artisan Hats are traditional in every sense of the word, but we've enhanced their response with a touch of innovation," said SABIAN master product specialist Mark Love. "The result is - like the Artisan ride and crashes - a soft sticking feel and a response that is deep, dark and funky, but with an edgy 'bite.' Funk, blues, jazz and groove drummers in general will find these have great tone and feel."

HHX Raw Bell Dry Ride

"Because it delivers consistently crisp stroke articulation wherever the drumstick lands, the Raw Bell Dry Ride design is considered by many to offer the ultimate in performance versatility," said SABIAN Product Specialist Lorenzo Wright. "This HHX version has a large, unlathed bell and a surface heavily textured by jumbo-peen hammering. This HHX version has 'Tone Projection,' so its dark, simmering sound projects through the music around it. For a modern dark sound and great versatility, the Raw Bell Dry Ride is the answer."

AAX Memphis Ride

"The Memphis Ride is a great combination of ride and crash without compromise," said SABIAN Master Product Specialist Mark Love. "It's ideal for many styles of music, with prototypes popular with gospel drummers and other soulful players. Aside from the design, the magic in this cymbal is its weight. The Memphis Ride is just heavy enough to ensure it performs perfectly as a ride, a crash and as a crash ride."

Radia Nano Hats

"As the Nano Hats and the rest of my Radia cymbals confirm, Mark Love and the SABIAN Vault Team have this incredible ability to design sound into metal," noted Bozzio.

"Vault Nano Hats are a great example of Terry Bozzio's ongoing search for new and different sounds," noted SABIAN Master Product Specialist Mark Love. "They are also another indication of SABIAN's desire to design and develop new cymbals and sounds so players have more meaningful options to choose from."
