WE PLAY MODERN DARK.
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 fromhere to
there. You can shout and screamto 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 fromstreet 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
flled 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 diference
between playing a 24" kick instead of a 20". Theres a real lowend,
gutsy sound. Gutsy? Yes, and I would also describe it as dynamic,
says Tomas Haake, who moved to HHX fromHH becauseTone
Projection is what he needs to project his darkness through the
tonally dense sound of Meshuggah. Cymbal sounds can disappear
when Implaying 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 DreamTheater 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, andTone 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 diference. Thats right, says Billy
Kilson, whose playing with Dave Holland, Chris Botti, and his
own BK Groove has made hima 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 fromBillys. Imlooking 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 defnitely 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 afection for tone
is Zoro. The dark stuf is very full. When you hit a crash it has a
full roundness; its not high-endbrittle. 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, theTone
Projection dimpling. DomFamularo 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. Domagrees. 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 fromStone 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 2 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 themto cut. I loveem,
and I get a lot of compliments fromstudio
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 frst modern cymbal concept in B20
bronze, the frst 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
defnitely 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
efects beat any efects cymbals out there.
Though they have their own specifc
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 seemto 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 ofers theres a lot of
choice. Ray also feels the love. Ive been
with SABIAN since 1993. 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 diferent 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 ve of todays hottest drummers talk AAX.

Tom Petty & the
Heartbreakers
Sessions Phoenix/Clinician Megadeth Barenaked Ladies Genesis
16 17
Lurking in the shadows of its glorious past,
deepest downtown Los Angeles feels a million
miles away fromthe rock glamof 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-fve 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 frst 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 Implaying 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.
Ima hard hitter too, says Shawn, The music
Implaying is extremely heavy, theres lots of
sheer volume. That dark, heavy tonality of HH
is really essential for Megadeth.
And TomPetty 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-fve years ago in
Montral with Genesis, says Shawn. Thats
how I frst got exposed to SABIAN.
Chesters experience was more personal. I
switched in 87. (The late, great) Larrie Londin
was saying, Man, these guys can actually make
a cymbal fromany 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 refect
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 amalso
thoroughly impressed
by their environmental
record. When I visited the
factory, I learned they recycle almost 99%!
Ive been an endorsee for twenty-fve years,
says Steve. Its a great company, with great
people.
Everybody Ive met thats afliated 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 stuf.
Jamie is equally blown
away. I set Chesters drums
up for himat a clinic
twenty years ago, and here
I amtoday. Its a humbling experience, but
everyone is treating me like Imone of them
and Imat 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. Imright 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 65 Mustang and rides a

grooves on funk. Chad Smith moved
fromDetroit to California and struck it big.
Are you ready? he shouts above the roar

gone, out the driveway of his newhome,
cruising down the Malibu coast highway
towards Zuma Beach to meet up with
Santanas Karl Perazzo, StrappingYoung
Lads Gene Hoglan, Cryptopsys extreme
metal phenomFlo Mounier, Disturbeds
Mike Wengren and Jimmy DeGrasso, whose
credits range fromOzzy 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 24 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
bottomheavy, 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 fromanother 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 stuf as well. Ima big
fan of the Rock Crash. With loud guitar
players youve got to overpower them
with whatever you can. Chad nods as
Mike continues. Iminto 18", 19", and 20"
sizes; theyre really bright and theyre really
loudthey can really kill that guitar player.
That Vintage Bright sound of AA powers
throughguitarists 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 usyou knowwhat I mean? As if Gene
Hoglans legacy with StrappingYoung Lad
wasnt enough, his innovative drumming
delivers a lethal kick with DethKlok. Chad
wants to hear more fromhis newfriend.
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 feelI can lay a
beating on themand 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-termrelationship with a brand.
I went to SABIAN on a handshake. Its been
a long time and
Imvery happy.
We all speak the
same language.
It might be a
diferent music,
but its the same
language. Chads been with SABIAN even
longer. Yeah, since 1984. Theyre always
trying newand 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 of.
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.
SABIAN brings

Vault is a diferent concept in cymbal
design. Its all about ideas. No, Vault
isnt a specifc sound; its not a series
of cymbals that look and sound
alike. Vault is a collection of uniquely
diferent 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 Teamto 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
calledThe 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 Teamcollaborates with Jack DeJohnette, Neil Peart,
Chad Smith, David Garibaldi and Mike Portnoy to create their signature
sounds. This focus on designing newsounds 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 fromvintage 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 thesound of silver as
the bright power of a V-Crash slices
through your music. Play a set of
Max Stax; shufe 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 fnd anywhere else.
Thats what Vault is all about.
A personal statement fromlegendary
Rush drummer Neil Peart, Paragon is a
bold concept created in collaboration
with the SABIANVault 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 efciency.
Neil had a sound in mind, says our Vault Teamleader, 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 few fromLos Angeles to Montral,
then motor biked fromhis home near
there to SABIAN. It took himeleven 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 efect 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 fgured out the main
cymbals for the set-up, we also came up with a
wide-fange 19 chinese that blew everyone away. Since then weve
also added the Diamondback
Chinese, a 20with 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 Creamand Yardbirds tunes.
Next up was Snakes and Arrows, which
saw himback 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.

Vault is all about
