Sabian HH 7'' Radia Cup Chimes piatto

Descrizione

After his older brother Armand took the reins at the Zildjian company, Robert Zildjian decided it was time to strike out on his own. So in 1981, armed with years of experience and a great knowledge of the trade, he founded his own cymbal manufacturing company named Sabian - a name that derives from the names of his three children, Sally, Bill and Andy (SaBiAn). Since then, Sabian has become one of the world's leading cymbal brands and enjoys a great reputation as one of the 'big four' of cymbal manufacturing, along with Zildjian, Paiste and Meinl.

Sabian HH series

The HH (Hand-Hammered) series of cymbals is a line of high-end cymbals, cast from Sabian's special B20 bronze alloy (which contains 20% tin and traces of silver). These cymbals are crafted by the master artisans at Sabian and tend to have a dark, atmospheric sound and a mid to low pitch - hence the Vintage Dark classification that Sabian has given the series. As all HH cymbals are individually hand-hammered, and the power and placement of each hammer stroke will vary, no two cymbals sound exactly alike. This gives the HH series a personal feel that many drummers across the globe have come to love.

Sabian HH 7-inch Radia Cup Chime cymbal

The Radia Cup Chimes were designed in collaboration with the maestro of melodic playing, Terry Bozzio – who is known for his elaborate set-up and his work with musicians such as Frank Zappa. These small cymbals possess a dark sound with plenty of tone. They speak quickly and their sound decays very rapidly as well, which makes them very well suited for use in matched sets of four to eight cymbals. In fact, that is how they are often used. This 7-inch Radia Cup Chime offers a beautiful, short tone that is great for quick little accents.
