We talk to Mark, product specialist at Sabian, about the new cymbals they have on show at NAMM 2017.
A number of fantastic cymbals that provide the player with a whole new spectrum of percussive possibilities, the new Sabian range are the definitive cymbal entry of the event.
The cymbals included are thethe B8X ballistic crash, AA Mini Holy China, XSR Fast Stax and AAX Aero Splash. Commonly known as 'effects cymbals', this diverse line up have been purposefully designed to spice up your your kits sound, giving you unprecedented tonal variety.
The B8x utilises a brand new hammering technique which sees the cymbal hammered from the bottom up. Made thin to help keep a consistently high pitched tone, the B8x entertains a variety of genres and is great for accenting your beats. For those who want a bit more of a spice to their playing, look no further than XSR Fast Stax which houses a thin 13" X-Celerator top fitting snuggly over a wide-lipped 16" Chinese bottom. Flaunting a unique appearance and distinctive tone, the AA Mini Holy China features an exaggerated high profile, mini holes and a raw bell encouraging a trashy and punchy tone. If none of the aforementioned cymbals suit your musical fancy, you can count on the AAX Aero Splash to deliver the goods. An all round white noise trash making machine that features enough high end to cut through any mix, the AAX aero splash is ideally suited to loud volume scenarios where it can deliver perfectly executed musical accents at the flick of your wrist.
The Artisan Elite Hats on the other hand are, Deep dark and rich. Their light weight helps to project a lower pitch than found in regular hi hats, making them ideal for situations in which volume and high dynamics are a particular priority. Artisan Elite Hats culminate centuries of progress in Sabian's art of cymbal making. Manufactured through a combination of high density hammering and unique lathing, they are able to reach a deeper and darker tone previously unattainable by other cymbals.
