    Modern Dark

    We play funk, rock and jazz. And we love hhX. Its got this hot, simmering darkness and

    a biting touch of dirt and agitation. And it has tone Projection to project that darkness

    through the music. Its ideal. And it only happens with hhX.

  • Projection. Its about pushing or throwing something from here to there. You can shout and scream to project your voice. Or you can do it like magicians do, with magic. Magic is what you get with HHX. Its Tone Projection design not only shapes the hot, dark and simmering, dirt-edge tone of this award-winning series, it projects it through and beyond the music. So expressing yourself is as easy as playing. HHX does the rest.

    While your sound wont get lost with HHX, what about you in New York City? With the sun casting long, dark shadows from street to street, and sirens ripping through the din of the day, its easy to feel lost. But when you arrive at SIR studios and meet up with a group of players who are going to reveal the world of HHX in their terms, it all becomes perfectly clear.

    HHX is the perfect blend: its dark enough and bright enough for whatever you play onstage or in the studio, says Nir Z, who not only filled Phil Collins chair when Genesis initially folded, but delivered the goods on John Mayers early hits, and also drums with Chris Cornell. Yes, I love those crisp, dark tones, adds Rodney Howard, of Avril Lavigne and Gavin DeGraw. HHX is like the difference between playing a " kick instead of a 0". Theres a real low end, gutsy sound. Gutsy? Yes, and I would also describe it as dynamic, says Tomas Haake, who moved to HHX from HH because Tone Projection is what he needs to project his darkness through the tonally dense sound of Meshuggah. Cymbal sounds can disappear when Im playing outdoor stages to sixty thousand people. But with HHX the cymbals sound great. Theyre always there.

    One man with a deep experience of SABIAN sounds is Mike Portnoy. His monstrous set-ups with Dream Theater are to quote the man himself vast. But HHX was a real ear opener. HHX added a whole new level of diversity. It combines the best elements of AA, AAX, and HH into one. I dig that dark side of HHX. Its something other cymbals dont have.

    And it sounds that good at all volumes. When we play subtle things, says Rodney, theres this smoldering, cool rumble with HHX. You can give the attitude of a huge rock show, but its at this really low volume. And thats the point with HHX. Like the brighter sounding AAX, HHX delivers at all volumes. But its the

    dark, simmering sound, agitated bite, and Tone Projection design that really makes these cymbals special. While other cymbals can generate darkness, HHX stirs up more simmering heat, more musical dirt, more of what drummers want to hear, and projects it. That projection is a huge difference. Thats right, says Billy Kilson, whose playing with Dave Holland, Chris Botti, and his own BK Groove has made him a name to watch. That sound will transcend even at a low volume. I can control it that crescendo of energy is absolute, its like no other.

    Playing jazzy funk with Victor Wooton, Derico Watsons groove isnt too removed from Billys. Im looking for a dark explosion, and HHX works great in everything I do, at whatever volume. Everybody loves them, man just loves them. Plus, Dericos only broken one cymbal in three years. I dont have to kill it to get the sound. His friend, John Roberts, has similar feelings about HHX. I love the darkness. I play straight-ahead mixed with funk, jazz, and hip-hop, so I dont always want a clean sound. I need more character, and HHX definitely gives that to the music.

    Whild Peach and Outkasts drummer, Tuesday, is also all about tone. HHX is so harmonically accurate. I use it to give me space in the groove; its a musical instrument unto itself, you know? Another HHX player with a deep groove and affection for tone is Zoro. The dark stuff is very full. When you hit a crash it has a full roundness; its not high-end brittle. It has deep depth, a full breath of tone to it. That tone, that depth, is the result of those jumbo-sized hammer marks across the cymbal surface, the Tone Projection dimpling. Dom Famularo solos on his SABIANs around the world, and his perspective sums everything up. The magic about HHX, he says, is the darkness that allows me to go places I wasnt able to go before. These cymbals inspire me to play great because they always sound great anywhere!

    Cymbals are a drummers character, comments Billy. I feel humbled and honored to be part of this family. Dom agrees. Its like they say in Italy, tutto la famiglia, the entire family. It doesnt matter where I travel, I meet drummers that play SABIAN, and we are family. Now thats what I call projection!

  • Its all sand and sun out here in the desert. Dry and bright, its a world of its own. But today its also the world of Korn drummer Ray Luzier, Nickelbacks Daniel Adair, Roy Mayorga from Stone Sour, Buckcherrys Xavier Muriel, and Sugarcults Kenny Livingston. After getting into the van as strangers, within a few minutes theres pushing and shoving, smiling and laughing. A couple hours later and these guys are friends for life. One by one they step out of the van after a hour drive, bottles of water in hand. Whoa, its bright, shouts Ray. On go the shades. I play AAX, he declares. They cut when you want them to cut. I love em, and I get a lot of compliments from studio producers and other players. I especially like the AAX X-Plosion Crash. AAX is amazing.

    Daniel agrees. I played AA, but the arrival of AAX changed everything. Hes right. AAX made history as the first modern cymbal concept in B0 bronze, the first cymbal series designed to meet the modern needs of drummers. That need was for bright sounding cymbals that respond accurately at every volume, from low to loud. AAX, with its Dynamic Focus, was the answer. And thats what makes AAX appealing to Xavier. AAX reassures me that

    every time I hit these cymbals, the audience is going to hear them. Theyre incredible. Kenny steps closer. Theyre cutting, theyre distinctive, and they dont get lost. Its that Modern Bright sound I love it because it works. So does Roy, whose red spiky hair glistens under the blazing sun. AAX cut beyond belief. They cut through one hundred and eleven decibels of guitar, so theyre definitely my preference.

    Xavier gets behind the drums and bashes out a groove. Roy leaps into the air. Then Ray grabs the sticks. These cymbals are wicked, he screams. SABIAN is always

    evolving, always coming up with new ideas. It helps me grow as a musician. Roy agrees. Just the amount of ideas that come out of SABIAN all the styles of cymbals. And the

    effects beat any effects cymbals out there.

    Though they have their own specific reasons for playing SABIAN, these drummers share more than a love of music. Its like a family vibe here, its cool, nods Kenny. Pushing back his shades, Daniel adds, Its even more special. We seem to be

    even closer and its a tight-knit group. Its good. Xavier agrees. I think every drummer

    aspires to be in a family with such incredible players as SABIAN has. SABIAN looks out for its

    artists. For Roy theres more. Its the array of colors SABIAN offers theres a lot of choice. Ray also feels the love. Ive been with SABIAN since 1. Theyre amazing.

    With the sun setting and the cool air descending, its time to pack up the gear, pile into the van, and head out on the highway. Its time to leave the desert behind and get back to the world they know. Five very different drummers with at least one thing in common SABIAN. Thats their answer. Thats their sound.

    Pure, shimmering. Bright like the sun.Heres what happens when five of todays hottest drummers talk AAX.

  • Lurking in the shadows of its glorious past, deepest downtown Los Angeles feels a million miles away from the rock glam of Sunset Strip. But here in the backstreet clubs and studios is a world drummers are all too familiar with. Just ask Steve Ferrone, Chester Thompson,

    Joey Heredia, Megadeths Shawn Drover, Jamie Borden of Phoenix, and the Barenaked Ladies Tyler Stewart.

    I know this part of town I played here last week, says Heredia. The jazzy, funky, latin groove master also knows his cymbals. Ive been playing SABIAN for twenty-five years, and its the best move I could have made, because your cymbal sound is your signature its everything. I play HH because that vintage dark sound is where I come from; my first ride was an HH. That one cymbal changed my life.

    Because HH cymbals are hand hammered, each has its very own dark, complex sound. But thats only part of the story. And if you think dark-tone cymbals are just for jazz, think again.

    Last night, Chester Thompson was onstage with Genesis. When Im playing the big gigs, I play really, really hard, but I dont want metallic, I dont want brash. With HH that vintage dark sound is always there and always warm.

    Im a hard hitter too, says Shawn, The music Im playing is extremely heavy, theres lots of sheer volume. That dark, heavy tonality of HH is really essential for Megadeth.

    And Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, quips Steve.

    Its the best cymbal on the planet, says Jamie. As my needs grow, SABIAN seems to be one step ahead of me. I started playing SABIAN twenty years ago and Ive never had the need to go outside the SABIAN circle for anything.

    But what got these guys into playing SABIAN?

    The roar of his bike may have announced his arrival, but Steve Ferrone listens quietly before speaking. I play any style and I play SABIAN because I like the sound and they have a playing life that lasts longer than anything else.

    I saw Chester twenty-five years ago in Montral with Genesis, says Shawn. Thats how I first got exposed to SABIAN.

    Chesters experience was more personal. I switched in . (The late, great) Larrie Londin was saying, Man, these guys can actually make a cymbal from any idea youve got! I had never heard of anything like that it amazed me.

    Tyler is also amazed. When I went to the factory I saw Mark Love take an abstract concept like, I need less sustain, or I need more shimmer, and have his guy hammer the cymbal to reflect that. That is superior craftsmanship.

    What else convinced Tyler to play SABIAN? It was a poster of Harvey Mason holding a cymbal and it said, Harvey Switched, and one of Phil Collins saying, Phil Switched. Today I play HH because its hand hammered made by hand. Theres somebody with a hammer making this thing sound good.

    When I think of SABIAN, says Joey, I think of melodies the cymbals give me all this color. A great drummer friend of mine said, Joey, you dont have a drum set anymore, its a piano and its because of those cymbals.

    Tyler agrees. SABIAN, to me, feels like home. I love the cymbals - they sound great and the people who make them are great, but I am also thoroughly impressed by their environmental record. When I visited the factory, I learned they recycle almost %!

    Ive been an endorsee for twenty-five years, says Steve. Its a great company, with great people.

    Everybody Ive met thats affiliated with the company has become a friend, adds Jamie. Its like theres a bond that existed before we even knew it did.

    Tyler, who is never short of humor, adds on a more serious note. Joey, Ive heard

    your playing and youre incredible. But just to be here with Chester Thompson and Steve Ferrone Like, Chester played with Weather Report and Zappa, man! Thats heavy duty absolutely incredible.

    Shawn feels the same. To be part of this is real special. I mean, to be able to talk with these guys thats big stuff.

    Jamie is equally blown away. I set Chesters drums up for him at a clinic twenty years ago, and here

    I am today. Its a humbling experience, but everyone is treating me like Im one of them and Im at their level.

    Drummers, agrees Chester, have this community, and SABIAN is keeping with that. Its the whole family vibe its about relationship. For me, its more about that than anything. Im right where I like being. Its a good thing.

    Into the darkness.When it comes to cymbals, there are bright sounds. And there are dark sounds. Those drummers who get into the darkness discover a new world of tone.

  • He drives a Mustang and rides a stripped down Harley. He listens to Deep Purple, The Who, and Hendrix. And he grooves on funk. Chad Smith moved from Detroit to California and struck it big. Are you ready? he shouts above the roar of his Harley. Lets gooooo. And hes gone, out the driveway of his new home, cruising down the Malibu coast highway towards Zuma Beach to meet up with Santanas Karl Perazzo, Strapping Young

    Lads Gene Hoglan, Cryptopsys extreme metal phenom Flo Mounier, Disturbeds Mike Wengren and Jimmy DeGrasso, whose credits range from Ozzy to Alice Cooper and more. They dont realize it yet, but under the blistering surfside sun theyre going to discover their shared love for the Vintage Bright sounds of AA cymbals. Ive pretty much always played SABIAN, starts Flo. I have up to cymbals on my set-up, but SABIAN has such a diverse selection, so I can pick and choose to get the ideal sound. The music I play is noisy, busy and bottom heavy, so I use AA hi-hats and splashes; their bright sound is perfect for cutting through the wall of noise that is Cryptopsy.

    Chad approaches AA from another angle. The Chili Peppers are loud, and I play really hard, but I dont have to expend as much

    energy to get as much out of the cymbal. And theyre not going to break. There are explosive sounds coming out of those AAs. Cymbals are one of the most important things in your set-up. Youve got to have ones that sound great, are musical, and are durable. AAs are all of that, plus theyre explosive. My favorite is the Rock Ride.

    Mikes into the rock stuff as well. Im a big fan of the Rock Crash. With loud guitar players youve got to overpower them with whatever you can. Chad nods as Mike continues. Im into 1", 1", and 0" sizes; theyre really bright and theyre really loud they can really kill that guitar player. That Vintage Bright sound of AA powers through guitarists cant compete. Chad approves. Yeah, right! The big cymbals! Because we play in bands that are loud, we need big cymbals to cut through.

    Jimmys take on AA is similar. Im primarily using AA. I like that vintage sound, especially with the Brilliant Finish models. That high end cuts through those thick guitar frequencies. Its very organic, but theres a great amount of cut. Karl loves that quick attack of the El Sabor. It speaks for us you know what I mean? As if Gene Hoglans legacy with Strapping Young Lad wasnt enough, his innovative drumming delivers a lethal kick with DethKlok. Chad wants to hear more from his new friend. There was something about the bright

    tone of SABIAN that made me switch, says Gene. The AA crashes are amazing. They have great tone, great feel I can lay a beating on them and they last like you wouldnt believe. You can crack through another brands cymbals so easily, but SABIANs have durability with that sweet sound. Its a package made in heaven.

    So its a cut above the rest? Absolutely! But its more than just sound that sees these players here today. It feels right. It feels comfortable, says Flo.

    Karl plays SABIAN because he wanted a long-term relationship with a brand. I went to SABIAN on a handshake. Its been

    a long time and Im very happy. We all speak the same language. It might be a different music, but its the same

    language. Chads been with SABIAN even longer. Yeah, since 1. Theyre always trying new and interesting things, and thats what I love about the people at SABIAN. Theyre always listening to all players, not just guys like me.

    As the day closes, a group of girls with their surfboards walk by, cheering loudly. The cherry red Mustang revs, and its time to take off.

    We speak the same language. Big, bold and bright.the sun, the sand, and the sea its sink or swim as the waves roll in. the shades go on, and some of todays meanest hitters discuss the cymbals they love most.

    The AA crashes are amazing. They have great tone, great feel.

    There are explosive sounds coming out of

    those AAs.

    WHATS YOUR SOUND?PowerfulUnique

  • Vault is a different concept in cymbal design. Its all about ideas. No, Vault

    isnt a specific sound; its not a series of cymbals that look and sound alike. Vault is a collection of uniquely

    different cymbals and sounds inspired by todays players and the music they

    play. Its for those seeking something special, more personal.

    Thats what Jojo Mayer discovered. The idea for my Fierce Ride had been lingering in my head for twenty years. Its a highly individual, complex cymbal that does exactly what I want it to do. It took the Vault Team to decipher and design Jojos idea into the Fierce Ride he was dreaming about.

    But why is it named Vault? The space where SABIAN master artisans design sounds and cymbals is called The Vault. It is here that such award-winning innovations as AAX and HHX are designed. The multi-holed O-Zone Crash, the X-Treme and the X-Plosion Crashes and the Artisan Ride all were designed in The Vault. Its where our Vault Team collaborates with Jack DeJohnette, Neil Peart, Chad Smith, David Garibaldi and Mike Portnoy to create their signature sounds. This focus on designing new sounds to ensure players have the options they need is why Vault exists. As for the name, the SABIAN Vault represents the center of cymbal design innovation.

    The Vault collection was launched with the Artisan Ride and the Vault V-Crash, but has expanded to include all SABIAN signature models, as well as new concepts that fall outside our other series. The sounds range from vintage to modern and beyond.

    So where will Vault go? Where will it take you? For answers, listen to the shimmering

    darkness of an Artisan Ride. Or experience the sound of silver as

    the bright power of a V-Crash slices through your music. Play a set of Max Stax; shuffle on a Liquid Ride; add some Saturation Crashes to your

    set-up; or groove on a pair of Fierce Hats. With Vault youll discover a world

    of sounds you wont find anywhere else. Thats what Vault is all about.

    A personal statement from legendary Rush drummer Neil Peart, Paragon is a

    bold concept created in collaboration with the SABIAN Vault Team. More than just the rock cymbal you might

    think it is, Paragon delivers high-powered, explosive responses, yet has

    the sensitivity to dip into lower dynamics. Its a selection of cymbals that players,

    including Bob Bryar of My Chemical Romance and Stone Sours Roy Mayorga, include in their set-ups for sheer power. But pop, funk and even jazz drummers like the Paragon combination of vintage bright tone and modern performance efficiency.

    Neil had a sound in mind, says our Vault Team leader, Mark Love. He needed full-on power for those big gigs with Rush. And he wanted those same cymbals to dip way down into the lower dynamic range without loss of response.

    Neil flew from Los Angeles to Montral, then motor biked from his home near there to SABIAN. It took him eleven hours, continues Mark, much of it in the autumn cold, wind and rain. When he arrived, he wanted to see was how the cymbalmaking process worked

    what did what and what the effect was. Once he had a sense of that, we got into designing the cymbals. Though that sounds easy, it was anything but. To create the Paragon sound, continues Mark, we mixed AAX, HH and AA design elements. Once we figured out the main cymbals for the set-up, we also came up with a

    wide-flange 1 chinese that blew everyone away. Since then weve also added the Diamondback Chinese, a 0 with a combination of sizzle rivets and tambourine jingles giving it a complex percussive sound.

    Neil debuted his Paragons on Rushs retro disc, Feedback, on which he played Cream and Yardbirds tunes. Next up was Snakes and Arrows, which saw him back in Rush mode, complete with the Diamondback. The power of Paragon makes it ideal for rock, notes Mark. But just like the music of Rush, these cymbals are capable of taking you someplace youve never been. Paragon is a great adventure.

    Its all about innovative ideas.

    discover a collection of uniquely different cymbals and sounds inspired by todays players and the music they play.
