I was all Zildjian, until Sabian.....

btw, much respect to the guys working at those factories... There´s no easy work on a factory.

Favorite cymbal company, I could watch videos on them all day.

Glad to see Sabian and Paiste are hand hammering their cymbals, unlike Zildjian. There's something about hand crafted products that just make them a step above.

AFAIK, Sabian is the only major cymbal company that can boast that they still offer completely hand hammered cymbals. If I can guess, hand hammering gives the cymbal its feeling, its soul.

Paistes are made differently. They are made out of sheet metal instead of being individually cast like Sabian/Zildjian. They are cut into disks then hammered into shape instead of being pressed.

When a product is named after your kids, you ensure it’s a quality piece no doubt!

Ms. Sally Zildjian herself helped install the new Sabian display at Motor City Guitar in Waterford, MI way back in the 2000's. She was so sweet, kind, and unassuming. Left an incredible impression in me of great respect. Even though I had been (and still am) a Paiste player since 1990, she didn't even let that bother her in the slightest!

i got a sabian 20" ride cymbal a few months ago i luv how it sounds

Charlie Brown sighting @ 4:27

Love Nick's totally honest smile at the end after he hits the crash to top off playing a pattern the hats. I recently went to 15" XSR Monarch Hats to go with my 22" XSR Monarch and for now I'm going with an 18" HH Vanguard. That's my set up except for a 16" HHX Evolution that I've had for at least 20 years. I'm still on the hunt though for an even better crash/ride than the 18" Vanguard but I've only got one gig under my belt with it and I need to give it more time to grow on me. Delicious cymbal!

Please visit the Pearl factory!

Manual labor of love! Thank you, Sabian!

I'd love to have the xsr cymbals. I play church functions and worship stuff for charity events. Can't afford them at the moment but someday. I just love the sound of the xsr

You sound really great Nick… great video chap

It is my favorite brand and series are the XSR and the HHX

Didn't realise how much handwork was performed making these.

Nice! It only takes 6 minutes and 21 seconds to make a Sabian cymbal!

@ the beginning of the video, the employee stated that the ingots were heated up for 45 minutes. Add in all of the additional heatings, hammering, lathing, trimming, etc and I’m sure that each cymbal actually takes several days to produce.

SABIAN BEST CYMBALS EVER

I see now why there's so much variation in Sabian cymbals as opposed to Paiste.

I use SABIAN cymbals! I use two 18 crashes from their AA and B8X lines, a 22” ride cymbal from their XSR line and a 10” splash cymbal from their AA line!

OMG! Nick touched a cymbal with his bare hand!!! Where was your white glove buddy? ;) Great tour vid. I've been there, but unfortunately didn't have enough time to do the full tour myself.

Love sabian cymbals but the sabian factory is a little underwhelming compared to the zildjian cymbal factory walk through lol. However what's funny is robert zildjian is the founder of sabian cymbals lol. All from the same family. I do like how sabian hand hammers the cymbals.

@Assimilator702

The Sabian factory started out as a Zildjian factory. The only reason Sabian exists is due to a family dispute between Robert and Armand Zildjian. To settle the dispute Robert was given some land over seas and the Canada factory under the condition that he could not make cymbals under the Zildjian name. Hence Sabian was born.

From who is de music from, like it! ; )

in every video out there we see only how hh variety is hammered, but not a time where they show hhx or aax hammering, why is that so? I once saw a catologue from '00s and they stated, that aax were shaped on a pneumatic hammer but the process is hand guided, so I imagined it to be similar to what we see from the paiste factory tours, but is it really so, I don't know, and would like to

So Sabian is what you use all the time Nick?

I like Sabian, I respect those involved and a little envious of the work (🤤cymbals.) But I noticed three things Zildjian and Sabian doesn't do that Paiste does. Those guys hammering away just hammered and only check for shape. Paiste has to count the hammering and place it a certain way for sound consistency and then check multiple times the thickness as well as shape. Paiste also uses machines to help hammer. I love those Sabian XSR Monarch cymbals and HH monarch but they are so inconsistent with sound, I find one that sounds great but can't buy it then when I have the money it's gone but the new one arrived sounds like a trash lid. 😫 Paiste Giant Beat, Modern Essentials and Masters are so consistant that I geuss that's why they are so expensive. Pros and cons. 😫 I can't afford or find what I want right now.
