What would everyone say the best sabian cymbal series is I’m looking to by some new cymbals, I currently have the sbr ones are they any good? I have read that hhx ones are good?
Do you guys find that splash cymbals have somewhat of a lifespan to them? I’m a pop punk/rock drummer, not a smasher by any means, and I never crack my crashes (I play THIN Sabian HHX Evolutions). But I do find myself replacing splashes every few years. Anyone else?
NEW CYMBAL DAY! Paiste Giant Beats 24’,20’,18’,18’thin, and 15’ hihats! Peace out Sabian B for bullshits! reddit.com/gallery/pcdjzc
Been lurking on this subreddit for a while, figure I should finally post something. (Mapex Armory Fast Shells, Mapex Armory Hardware, Sabian XSR Cymbals).
Update, got few sticks and jam block and cymbal stand! Waiting on a sabian aax 18in..still waiting on shipment notif on the timbales...and undecided on cow bells.. reddit.com/gallery/qvugcc
What Sabian Ride Cymbal is this? I can potentially get this for cheap and thought it might be a half decent series going by the look of the thing. But pictures can be deceiving. Anybody any idea what series this is from? reddit.com/gallery/qruz01
Setup from a recent recording session. Sonor vintage kit, LM402 and Sabian cymbals.
Found some used Sabian Xs20 cymbals online for around $180 including shipping. Should I get them?
14 inch hi hats, 16 inch crash, and a 20 inch ride. The only issue seems to be that they’re fairly tarnished and grimy, but that doesn’t really bother me all that much.

First band practice after WAY too long! Trying out these Sabian FRX quiet cymbals
[Mike Portnoy] I’ve recently gotten HUNDREDS of messages w links to Deden Noy playing my songs on a homemade kit. His talents are indeed incredible & I’m in the process of getting him a new kit & cymbals w the incredible support from @TAMAofficial & @SABIAN_Cymbals twitter.com/MikePortnoy/s…
Kit pic with my new (to me) Sabian AAX cymbals. Sorry its wonky :)
Sabian AAX cymbal set at a killer price.
Second hand Sabian AAX 14, 16, 18, 20 cymbal set in good nick at an awesome price. I need some new cymbals as an upgrade, and play mostly Rock, blues rock country and some stuff in between, reckon these will be good??
My first set of nice cymbals! A mix of new and used. 14" Meinl Byzance medium hats (new), 8" Sabian signature Mike Portnoy Max Stax Splash (used), 16" Zildjian Avedis medium crash (new) and a 20" zildjian a custom ride! Am super hyped to play them

Sabian cymbals, DW pedals, Promark sticks. I made the subkick mic for about $40 (had to get a -20db pad) Everything's micd and ready! reddit.com/gallery/mfzg7c
New cymbal day! Bringing in some spring brightness with the Sabian HHX Groove Ride and AA Bash Ride. Both 21”, both brilliant visually and otherwise.
Paid £90 (about 120 USD) for this ‘used’ Sabian AAX Ride cymbal. Looks and sounds good as new!
Although it's a "quiet" kit with the mesh heads and quiet tone Sabian cymbals, it's still too late for me to jam. Still, very happy with the investment!
is it better if i get all my cymbals from the same brand or is it better if i use a mix of different cymbal brands like zildjian and sabian which im using rn
My DIY Ride cymbal electronic conversation and tribute to Neil Peart. I can't ride it like he did, but when I play it I definitely feel charged up. That classic NP ride pattern feels so good! The bell and bow are independently triggered and fully dynamic. One day I'll have a Sabian Paragon.
Got some new cymbals today, Sabian XSR performance pack. Got a killer deal for them.
New cymbal day! (15"/19"/22" Sabian HHX Legacy pack)
My most recent cymbal swap has me finally running all Sabian Paragons. Could I make it any more obvious that the Professor is my biggest influence?
So I was at my cousins house and he recently got his dads old drum kit and failed to mention he had Sabian cymbals like the Rev! I was shook! Can’t wait to jam out soon like Jimmy!
What kind of difference in sound can you expect from a bend of this size? Cymbal is a sabian pro sonix 18 inch Chinese. (Sorry for bad picture, the cymbal is currently at my friends house so he quickly took a picture for me.)
Buy your all Canadian cymbals from Sabian in Meductic, New Brunswick! They just had pandemic layoffs :( sabian.com/
New cymbal day. 22" hhx complex ride and a 16" Sabian sizzle stack. reddit.com/gallery/jfpe67
dont mind the rusty set and how im using a wingnut instead of the thing pearl gives you with the stands but i made this pretty cheap stack cymbal out of a 16 inch sabian sbr entry level crash and a 10 inch zildjian zbt entry level splash, it doesnt sound the best but i think its pretty good.
This is my lovely playground! Tama swingstar kit from the 80's and Sabian xs20 brilliant cymbals, except for the 16" crash which is an Istanbul origin :)
After years of saving money and experimenting i have my dream drumkit to play on and record drums. Zildjian and Sabian have good silent cymbals!!!
My first ever New Cymbal day!! Sabian XS20 20" Medium ride
Got this cymbal used off local classifieds, I'm already in love with it! So pumped to finally have a real cymbal.

Need help deciding on 1st set of drums! The first 3 pics are a set of tamas with Sabian cymbals last photo is a pearl road show. The tama is 185 pearl is 225. Thanks for the help!!! reddit.com/gallery/j74l18
Reworking cymbals is fun. 18” Sabian B8 thin is now a hand-hammered o-zone style crash with a forced instant patina.
First time adding rivets to a cymbal (and a rescue at that). 20" Sabian Hand Hammered Medium Ride with a 2.5" crack drilled on both ends. Brass Chicago screws for easy removal. v.redd.it/if3813ox7t151
Scored a Sabian display rack someone was selling today. Now my cymbals that aren't in use have a place to call home instead of being stuck in bags! It's just so beautiful!
PSA: Sabian 17 inch AAX Concept Crash Cymbals are selling for $110 right now!
