Knowing that passion and understanding the joy of playing is one of the many parts of what makes SABIAN different. That joy is one of commonalities and part of what makes us our own tribe, no matter what type of music we each play. A passion for our own style and sound and the fact that our individual energy is projected into and from our instruments. We take that seriously, which is why we will always make cymbals by hand. The energy that our craftspeople put into each cymbal is part of what makes each of our cymbals unique. That quality helps to define your sound, your creative expression, your voice. We respect the living metal which we create, the craft that brings out its power and how that shares in creating your signature sound.
The 21" AA Holy China is a monster of loudness and cut, the loudest cymbal on the SABIAN roster! The Holy China is not for the faint of heart. The combination of 64 holes in the 21" model, large raw bell, high profile and wide lip creates a unique and explosive package. SABIAN AA cymbals are all about classic sounds. Rock. Funk. Jazz. Blues. Its about tradition, about what made history. And its about making history again. Bright, explosive energy, the vintage bright sound for today.
