Sabian Cymbals

Sabian cymbals are known worldwide for combining consistency, innovation and musicality across an exceptionally broad range of styles. Manufactured in Canada from high-quality bronze alloys, Sabian cymbals are produced using a blend of advanced manufacturing techniques and traditional hand-finishing, allowing them to deliver reliable performance while still retaining character and depth. From bright, cutting models designed for modern rock and metal to dark, complex cymbals favoured by jazz and studio players, Sabian offers options to suit virtually every drummer and musical context.

What sets Sabian apart is their emphasis on sound design and player feedback, with many of their ranges developed in close collaboration with professional artists. This approach has led to highly distinctive series that balance tone, feel and durability, making Sabian cymbals equally at home on the world’s biggest stages and in intimate studio environments. Whether chosen for power, subtlety or versatility, Sabian cymbals are trusted by drummers who demand dependable quality and expressive sound.

AA were Sabian’s first cymbal range and have found their home as a popular cymbal for rock and pop drummers.

AAX use the same automated anvil technique that AA uses but has a closer thinner lathing technique which makes the cymbals great for playing at loud volume.

HH cymbals were Sabian’s first hand hammered offering which brings out more darkness and depth in the cymbal.

HHX cymbals combine the darkness of hand hammered cymbals with the volume and articulation of thinner lathing techniques, creating a hugely versatile cymbal which has found favour in many different genres.

Omni cymbals were created in partnership with legendary drummer Jojo Mayer and feature a half raw and half polished finish. Includes cymbal designs from both the AAX and HHX ranges.

Artisan are the most complex cymbals that Sabian have on offer. They are all about rich, traditional dark tones and are a highly sought out range from professional drummers.

Stratus cymbals make use of high-impact hammering to create professional-grade cymbals with a warm and musical tonality.

XSR are a development from the Xs20 cymbal range. Crafted from pure B20 Bronze using trickle-down technology from award-winning Evolution and X-Plosion cymbals, Sabian XSR delivers unprecedented sound and performance at a price designed to fit your cymbal budget.

B8X cymbals feature the same great engineering you would expect from Sabian but they are made from B8 bronze rather than B20 which keeps the cost down, making them more affordable than other ranges.

SBR is Sabian’s entry range. Made from brass, these cymbals are great to get you playing on a budget, with a cymbal you know won’t break or dent on you.

Other Sabian ranges include Crescent, FRX, Paragon, Quiet Tone, and
