General

Sabian is one of the biggest and best cymbal manufacturers in the world, and can count itself as one of the 'big four' cymbal manufacturers (together with Zildjian, Paiste and Meinl). The company originated in Meductic, Canada in 1981, when Robert Zildjian (that's right) left his family's company to start his own business and named it after his three children, Sally Bill and Andy (SaBiAn). Sabian's AA cymbals are machine-made (AA stands for Automated Anvil), and possess a bright, vintage sound that makes them very versatile and suited for a wide range of genres.

Sabian AA 8-inch splash

This 8-inch splash cymbal produces a classic, bright sound that fans of the AA series will surely appreciate, while it also speaks very quickly and has an almost instant decay. Furthermore, its brilliant finish makes this cymbal sound ever so slightly brighter. This ensures that the subtle accents sparkle like never before, and it also adds a nice visual touch! Splashes produce a gentle, high-pitched sound that is ideal for subtle accents that really brighten up any arrangement.
