Like you, Sabian artists are faced with the choice of<br />
a wide array of Sabian cymbals and sounds, from a<br />
dazzling selection of metals and series. For many of<br />
them, the journey to answer the question “What’s<br />
Your Sound” has become an Obsession. We’ve<br />
approached some of our most Obsessed artists<br />
to find out what sounds excite them, and which<br />
cymbals inspire them to create magic.<br />
During this process, we’ve also learned more<br />
about what drives each of these artists – not<br />
just musically, but personally. Like Ray Luzier’s<br />
Obsession with finding the perfect gourmet<br />
dessert. And Jojo Mayer’s Obsession with magic<br />
tricks. Then there’s Dave Weckl’s Obsession with<br />
racing his 505HP Corvette Z06.<br />
Follow along with us throughout the year as we<br />
explore the many Obsessions of your favorite<br />
Sabian artists. Not only will you be able to read<br />
about them in a print campaign running in your<br />
favorite drum magazines, you can also watch<br />
exclusive Obsessed video at SabianObsessed.com.<br />
The following pages are a sampling of Sabian<br />
Obsessed artists and the things that inspire<br />
them. What better place to start the process of<br />
discovering the sounds that are right for you?<br />
Case in point: his meticulously organized collection of films<br />
(he loves Stanley Kubrick) and magazines (he’s got every Modern<br />
Drummer ever printed). If you touch any one of them, he’ll know!<br />
But his biggest Obsession is drums. Like his HH Max Stax.<br />
The perfect combination of a China and a percussive effect<br />
cymbal, they always cut through.<br />

With being the perfect dad. With finding the perfect gourmet<br />
dessert. With creating the perfect mix in his home studio.<br />
And he’s Obsessed with his 21" <strong>SABIAN</strong> AA Rock Ride. Why?<br />
Because in Ray’s words, “I don’t hit light – but I can crash on<br />
it and it cuts and slices music in half. It’s perfect!”<br />

For Jojo, magic is a total suspension of reality – a new way of looking<br />
at the world where everything is possible. It’s why he’s Obsessed with<br />
the magical experience of creating new beats, with reaching for the<br />
unexpected without constraint. The AAX OMNI is a cymbal that can<br />
take him there. It entices him to play new things, and leads him to<br />
places he didn’t know he could go. You could say OMNI is a magic<br />
cymbal. And Jojo Mayer is Obsessed with magic – and his OMNI.<br />

Ever since he can remember, Dave Weckl has been<br />
surrounded by fast cars. Little wonder he’s Obsessed with<br />
racing them, especially his 505HP Corvette Z06. It goes<br />
from 0 to 60 in just over 3 seconds, while responding to his<br />
every input, his every touch. Pretty much just like his 17"<br />
HHX Evolution Effeks Crash. It’s a high-fidelity cymbal, with<br />
a beautiful, clear high end sound that’s never harsh, and<br />
projects incredibly well. It’s a sound Dave is Obsessed with.<br />

Until HHX, dark cymbals simply did not cut. With HHX,<br />
<strong>SABIAN</strong> changed all of that. Using an innovative combination<br />
of high-profile shape, large raw bell and jumbo sized<br />
hammering, they ensured that the dark, tonally complex<br />
sound of HHX cuts in any situation. Essentially, they took<br />
the warm, dark, complex tone of HH cymbals – and made<br />
it cut for modern musical settings.<br />

AAX Raw Bell Dry Ride<br />
AAX O-Zone Crash<br />
Modern Bright<br />
AAX changed everything! Before AAX, most cymbals were<br />
manufactured using processes that had been around<br />
for centuries. AAX was the first cymbal designed and<br />
manufactured using completely modern lathing<br />
and hammering techniques. The result? Increased<br />
brightness, cut and musicality – for the widest<br />
dynamic range ever achieved. And suddenly, the<br />
bright, explosive tone of AA cymbals was available<br />
even at low volume.<br />

AA Chinese<br />
AA Rock Ride<br />
Vintage Bright<br />
AA cymbals use an automated hammering process<br />
to create stronger, louder cymbal models. The<br />
combination of high profile shape and small-peen,<br />
concentric hammering pattern raises the pitch<br />
for bright, explosive tone. And traditional lathing<br />
increases durability and toughness for more intense,<br />
high-volume performances. That’s why AA models<br />
are ideal in classic rock settings.<br />
