SABIAN

SABIAN is all about designing and creating cymbals and sounds that are right for you. Known as the 'modern, innovative cymbal maker with traditional roots,' we combine expertise and craftsmanship with creative vision, to design award-winning cymbals that make SABIAN the choice of such leading drummers as Chad Smith, Jack DeJohnette, Mike Portnoy, Dave Weckl, and Neil Peart, as well as percussion greats Evelyn Glennie DBE, Bob Becker, Ney Rosauro, Li Biao and Dennis DeLucia, among many others around the world. They - like you - can choose their cymbals from the comprehensive range of unique and personal sounds offered by SABIAN.

SABIAN was founded in late 1981, when one of the world's great names in cymbal making, Bob 'Sabian' decided drummers deserve better cymbals. Not happy with the quality, sound and relevance of cymbals made at that time, he launched SABIAN. Located in the small eastern Canadian village of Meductic, New Brunswick, SABIAN - most notably The Vault, where cymbals are designed - has since become the global center for cymbal and sound innovation. Our ongoing program of discovery and design means today's drummers and percussionist have a larger-than-ever selection of interesting and innovative cymbals to choose from, with models ranging from vintage to modern, from highly personalized to whatever you need.

SABIAN is a 'team'... a 'family', with many members - a growing number with over 25+ years experience - absolute masters of their craft. Even the 'SABIAN' name is family, comprised of the first two letters from the names of each of Bob's three children - SA (Sally), BI (Billy), AN (Andy). Today, Andy is the president of SABIAN, with Bob serving as chairman. And those rings appearing in the SABIAN logo? They represent the grooves cut into the surface of a cymbal.
