Sabian Cymbals: A Drumeo Documentary

"... you can't take the secret, because the business doesn't own the secret. The family owns the secret and it has been passed down..."
-- Sally Zildjian Teague on what the judge ruled when "they" (probably Zildjian co.) sued Sabian for the usage of the B20 alloy recipe.

Pretty chilling words right there.

Not working propely, very odd technik of hammering and lathing cymbals. Same cymbals, etc. 17" crash totaly diffrent sound the same 17" crash.??? It's not good. Sorry for my thinking and my english but me, i see this that way.

Sabian all the way!!!!❤

I started playing drums when I was ~15 and when I could finally afford my own drum set at ~21 I happened to pick a Sabian AAX set after some tone testing in a huge music shop in northern Italy. I'm 33 now and I'm still buying more AAX cymbals because I really like them.
I got lucky. No cymbals ever broke despite all the beatings plus time, they sound amazing, and they seasoned very well!
I respect this company, as their products have been great and feel pretty sturdy.
I also went to a UFIP cymbal factory in Pistoia, that was a very nice experience
(but I stuck to Sabian because I enjoy their bright clean timbre) Keep it up! ❤
I hope I'll get the chance to play more and afford more cymbals. I love drumming

Great video except for the Indigenous Guilt which is inherent in any Canadian setting. 🙄

Love SABIAN cymbals but there is no way I could tolerate MEGA HYPE HEAD JARED JERKOFF for even 4 minutes let alone 45 minutes!

I love edging

Very interesting and and entertaining documentary. Great job Jared. Todd is hilarious 😂 These people at Sabian are so genuine, lovable and dedicated to their products. I'm proud to say that when I decided to stop using my Zildjian hi hats and go with the lighter Sabian hats. That was a decision that elevated my playing and my career almost instantly. I also use a 18" Sabian crash ride. The other cymbals are Zildjian. I'm fussy about cymbals. I like what I like. The native American segment was strong. Loved it. Let's go Drumeo 📀

My kids are both drummers. Mark Love and Sabian welcomed us and gave us the grand tour, maybe about a month before this video came out. This was I think a day or two after the passing of Dom Famularo. You could tell Dom played a big role for the company and that he had left a big mark. In the Area 51 room, there was a prototype of a China cymbal with "Dom's China" written on it with a Sharpie. They were developing the 20" HHX Dominator China and I got to see and hear the first one.

I always knew Sabian made great cymbals, but getting to tour the factory, seeing how everything is made and meeting the team really gave me an appreciation for the craftsmanship that goes into it. Thanks Drumeo for putting out this video, it's cool to see the face of the people the kids and I met on that tour!

One thing I can't understand is why Sabian changed their logo! The old one is much better!

I wonder if the family gets along today…. Besides that… I been enjoying sabian for years! I have had b8s for years (they cheap but good for practice and small rooms) and last night I pulled a trigger to order HHX complex. And it’s coming in tomorrow (did a 1 day shipment)

Have used our church's Sabian Sbr cymbals for over 6 years...and manh🥴 they're still smacking to date

Fell in love with Sabian when I was 14 when I received a 19 inch AAX X-Plosion Crash for Christmas. I've gone through 3 of them so far. My favorite crash. I put it over top an A Custom any day. Thanks for this awesome in depth video of my favorite cymbal company!

MY SINCEREST APOLOGIES TO TODD SUCHERMAN. MY ISSUE IS WITH JARED FALK, UNBELIEVABLY THE CEO (CHIEF EXCREMENT ORIFICE) FROM DRUMEO.

Turd Suchanarse says "I'm gonna go to the Sabian factory and make a documentary about ... ME, ME, ME and ME." Who is this crass, brain dead, Septic ego neanderthal anyway?

This is the second doco this child has made unwatchable. Can't drumeo chain him to his pram?

From all the cymbal makers, Instabul has the best sounding clap stack.

Paiste probably now has a hit on Jared, all those pics of that factory, now he done turned...Ask Bonzoleum what happened when he asked to many questions, just saying...Drum drama lol..

NBer here, and it’s super inspiring going on a walk through of this factory in person! Definitely recommend if you ever have the chance!

Awesome documentary

My family has always used Zildjian, but the best modern cymbals I’ve ever played were Sabians. I’m back to Zildjian, but I went with some vintage 1950s to go with my ‘53 Gretsch.

I love everything about Sabian cymbals, except their new logo.

i bet their company hockey team is dialed

Grew up about 20-30 minutes away from Meductic, started playing sabian as an amateur back in 1992 and am still playing them today (still as an amateur, haha).

The little pucks look like plinko chips lol

Very enjoyable! Thanks guys!

I don't like Sabian's new logo at all.

It's really cool to see how much human input goes into the process of creating these cymbals, in drum shops each Cymbal I've seen looks so universally similar, they almost look machine made but there is so much craftsmanship it's really amazing to see!

When I was a kid, my dad bought me a set of Sabian cymbals. I still use Sabian because I love the sound. This is really cool to see!

Very cool doc and BTS footage is always fun - and smart (drumeo) - killer playing and would love to make my own cymbal down there one day… proud to be part of the Sabian Fam - thx for all you do… Stay Rad ✌🏽

Guess he knew the formula from Zildjian because of the family issue.

my hh sessions ride is getting shipped tomorrow!!!!!!!❤

Todd asks "Are the edges sharp?" Mark answers "Ya, don't drop it on your feet."🤣🤣🤣

Great cymbals i love it! FOREVER OLD LOGO ❤
My sounds are Sick, Raw, Dark... Radia

Cool bent cymbal

Man I'd LOVE to visit such a factory and try my hand at making a cymbal. I've always been a very tactile person so it'd be a perfect day for me.

My first set of cymbals I bought were SABIAN and man do I love them. Got myself a fat ride, crash, splash, hats and another crash! I've always felt a strong connection with the SABIAN cymbals and I don't know why. Not that Zildjian, paiste or meinl are bad or anything but my love is for SABIAN first. I share a room in a house now and haven't been playing drums for many many years. Seeing this documentary has me in tears, I just want to get my old kit back and have a jam. It's not all bad, I can pick up an Ekit for not too much. But really the acoustic is where it's at.

"nothing you say is going to be usable" lmao Todd is great

Sabian all the way! My favorite cymbal is AA Medium crash ride.

sensational video! from following the entire process which was so cool to see, the relationship between Sabian and the community, the drumming colaboration with the first peoples, the craftsmen, staff and managment, and the history and story behind it all.. and to finish off with a drum display for the staff was super cool!!

We are a small but mighty province, thank you for highlighting one of our gems. Love that you did the piece at the art gallery in Fredericton too!

NOBODY can play Terry Bozio’s set but Terry Bozio. It’s a monster. A beast. A set with a soul. It matches its owner.

The best deal in cymbals are Sabian XSR'S. What I like about them is their consistency. B20 and under a grand for the super set . Awesome .

I live in Moncton, Nb. guitar player and play drums on the side. all I play is sabian because well im a 2 hour drive from the factory.

Cool documentary.

Im just digging all this content Drumeo is producing.
