General

Sabian is one of the most famous cymbal manufacturers in the world. The company was founded in 1981 by Robert Zildjian, when his older brother became the head of the Zildjian company. Armed with a lifetime of knowledge and experience, he started over and created a company named after his three children, Sally, Bill and Andy (SaBiAn). Over time, Sabian grew into the respected company it is today, and now belongs to what has been dubbed 'the big four', along with Zildjian, Paiste and Meinl.

Sabian AAX series

Today, Sabian is known for their innovative cymbals, and the AAX line is what started it all. Like the AA-series, it consists of machine-made B20 bronze cymbals. The AAX series, however, receives very different hammering and lathing treatments, which results in a very different sound. It also features the exclusive Auto-Focus Response feature. Where other cymbals have a 'response threshold', meaning they sound best once they reach a certain volume, AAX cymbals respond with total accuracy at all dynamic levels, from low to high volumes.

Sabian AAX 9-inch Max Splash

Sabian's Max Splash cymbals were designed in collaboration with former Dream Theater drummer Mike Portnoy and were named after his son Max. This extra-thin 9-inch version has the familiar crisp, bright sound you might expect from a crash, and additionally this Max Splash has a glassy quality and cuts through the mix very nicely.

Wrote the following about Sabian AAX 9-inch Max Splash cymbal

Prachtige dunne splash, mooie volle sound. Qua klank zowel zacht als hard te bespelen. De 7" erbij is echt een must. Samen klinken ze harmonisch geweldig.
Door BAX snel geleverd, uitermate goed verpakt.
