Zildjian vs. Sabian (just a quick question)
« on: April 11, 2006, 08:29:20 AM »
I've been reading through the post and i see that most drummers in forum use sabian cymbals. Me personally im a zildjian man myself... I just wanted to know why so many of you choose sabian over zildjian?

I'll play whatever sounds good, however, Sabian just offers more consistent 'good sounds' to my ear than Zildjian.  That's not to say that Zildjian does not offer anything that is 'good' to my ear.  I have two Zildjian cymbals that are in my collection.  They are as follows:

12" Zildjian A Custom Mastersound Hi-Hats
18" Zildjian A Custom China

Those two are exceptional cymbals (in my opinion), but again, if I hear any cymbal and I like it, I'm going to grab it, regardless of the brand (well, maybe except for Wuhan - lol).   ;D

I am a Zildjian guy right now. BUT, the Innovation coming out of Sabian is really winning me over. I am not seeing that from Zildjian.

God Bless.

For me being a Canadian (Sabian is a Canadian Company!) Ive always played their cymbals...But now its the popular thing to play. It seems like everytime I play something or switch to something it ends up becoming popular (Im not saying I cause it to be). I switched from Yamaha Birch to Tama Birch Star Classics before it was popular, now its popular to play Tama Birch (I like birch drums). Im thinking about switching to Zildjan or something else, I dont like playing the norm or sounding the same.

I own Sabian and Zildjian. I use whatever the gig at hand calls for. Most of the time it's Sabian though.

I guess I'm kinda silly in the way that I have all Zildjian Cymbals but I'm not sponsored or anything. I don't know why just a weird OCD kinda' thing :P
I'm diggin' the variety that Sabian is offering now.... I love my 20" K Custom Ride.. but that 21" HH Manhattan Ride has such a great stick sound!

That must be a special order, because the O-zone only comes in two sizes: 16" and 18".

I use Sabians and like them and others above Zildjian is because of the sound consistency through size and model. Meaning that a 16" Evo is going to sound nearly the samein every store you go to. I also think they are more musical in modern music. I think that Sabian is standing on invotation moreso than Zil. This is why use tghem (... and no I am not endorsed by them).

I feel that Meinl is doing bi things right now as well. They would are my runner up sound choice right now (*even though I don't currently own any).
