The announcement came with the unveiling of new products in Sabian's 2015 performance and accessory line, including their new Big and Ugly cymbal collection, which offer six different ride cymbals with deep sonic complexity, dynamics and a unique visual profile.

More on these and Sabian's other new cymbals coming up soon here on Drummerszone.

Andy stated during the press conference at the NAMM Show:

"Since Drum Workshop bought Sabian from independent music distributor KMC, as of this show we are now selling directy in the United States."

SABIAN Band & Orchestral instruments and accessories will continue to be sold and distributed by Pearl Corporation in the USA.
