General
The long-awaited Sabian Hoop Crasher (14-inch), designed by Jojo Mayer, is a double effect ring that can be placed on the batter head of a 14-inch snare or tom. If you hit the middle of the head, you will hear little more than the regular sound of your tom or snare drum. When you hit the head closer to the Hoop Crasher (or hit the Hoop Crasher itself), there is no mistaking the unique, biting sound that it adds to your drum. This means you can adjust the intensity of the effect as you play.
The high-quality Hoop Crasher
For two years, Sabian worked with Jojo Mayer to design the Hoop Crasher. During that process, Mayer and several other drummers used the Hoop Crasher prototypes on their drum kits regularly and with great success. The two rings have been made from high-quality B20 bronze hi-hats (and not recycled cymbals), which has a very positive impact on their sound. The bottom ring's Air Wave edge ensures minimal contact with the drumhead, in order to maintain as much of the drum's original character as possible.
The two rings
The top ring has been fitted with 32 holes and is attached to the bottom ring. However, the two rings can also be detached and placed loosely on top of each other, resulting in a very different sound. Furthermore, the Jojo Mayer Hoop Crasher also comes with three special, adjustable C-clamps. These allow you to adjust the length of the rings' sustain, and they prevent the Hoop Crasher from bouncing off the drumhead when your playing gets a little intense.

Wrote the following about Sabian Hoop Crasher by Jojo Mayer, 14-inch effect cymbal
een erg leuk effectje van sabian ik heb het vandaag binnen gekregen en toen ik het uitpakte was ik meteen erg onder de indruk er van. hier zijn mijn plus en minpunten:
+ mooi afgewerkt
+ de hoop crasher is lekker zwaar het is dus niet een licht prul dingetje
+er zit een zakje bij voor de klemmen. met instructies hoe je de klemmen moet bevestigen.
- punten de klemmen passen niet op mijn snare erg jammer want nu kan ik de intensiteit van het effect niet bepalen. (misschien is het wel zo dat de hoop crasher niet op elke snare past)
al met al geef ik het product toch een dikke 8 ik ben er namelijk erg trots op.
It's been 10 years since Zildjian introduced the remarkable K Custom Hybrid series, so clearly, it's time to celebrate! Until June 30th, you'll receive a 15% discount on all cymbals from the Zildjian K and K Custom collections!
Sabian is adding no fewer than 25 new cymbals to its range of products for the coming year. There are new additions to the AA, AAX, XSR, B8X and HHX series, as well as a number of interesting new Artisan Light and Artisan Elite cymbals. The Artisan Elite series will increase the sound possibilities for jazz-oriented drummers in particular.
2016 has just begun, but Sabian has already announced a brand new line of cymbals: the XSR series. This successor to the Xs20 series features the exceptional qualities we know from the Evolution and X-plosion cymbals, applied to a much more affordable line. Sabian ensures us that they're absolutely best in class!
