General

Along with Zildjian, Paiste and Meinl, Sabian is considered as one of the 'big four' cymbal manufacturers, and rightly so! The company was founded in 1981 by Robert Zildjian, who left his family's company after his older brother Armand took the reins there. Armed with years of experience and a great knowledge of the trade, he founded his own cymbal manufacturing company named Sabian - a name that derives from the names of his three children, Sally, Bill and Andy (SaBiAn).

Sabian HHX series

The HHX series of cymbals is the modern counterpart to the vintage-sounding HH series, that was designed to add some aggression and attack to the dark, moody sound of hand-hammered cymbals. It is a line of high-end, 'Modern Dark' cymbals, cast from Sabian's special B20 bronze alloy (which contains 20% tin and traces of silver). These cymbals are hand-hammered by the master artisans at Sabian and tend to have a dark, yet powerful sound and a mid to low pitch. While retaining the personal qualities of hand-hammered cymbals, the HHX series also features Sabian's 'Tone Projection' design that enhances tone and projection.

Sabian HHX 21-inch Groove Ride cymbal

This 21-inch Groove Ride is an incredibly musical cymbal with a beautifully dark, shimmering sound. The average-sized raw bell cuts through nicely, without being too loud. It's also a highly sensitive cymbal that will pick up even the slightest nuances and changes in intensity. Furthermore, it has a funky, shimmering bow sound that offers a subtle yet important base for your rhythm, and crashing the Groove Ride produces a great, musical wash that is not overpowering.
