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 />

HHX X-Treme Crash<br />

Modern Dark<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 />

HH cymbals are traditional dark, hand hammered cymbals.<br />

Based on legendary Turkish models, we use a centuries-old<br />

rich and complex tones. As a result, HH cymbal models<br />

blend smoothly into vintage musical settings like jazz,<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 />
