When Sabian began in 1982, they started with Hand-Hammered (HH) cymbals. Now... think about how a 30-year old classic album is remastered to bring it back to its vintage glory - to take it from the great to the sublime. In this same way, HH Remastered adds complexity and tone to each cymbal, delivering great sonic texture across the entire line.

Sabian took a handful of remastered HH cymbals to the recent Summer NAMM show in Nashville and received overwhelming praise and very enthusiastic feedback from artists like Jim Riley, Chester Thompson, Mark Schulman and Alex Acuna - not to mention other artists who have had a sneak peek at the new HH like Dave Elitch, Stanton Moore and Mark Guiliana.

According to a press release, Sabian's Vault team has tapped deeply into the past by applying more Hand Hammering and working on all HH cymbal profiles. In fact, depending on size, each remastered HH cymbal can be hammered up to 3,000 times - in some cases more - before a drummer hits it once.

Sabian Master Sound Specialist Mark Love explains:

"Traditional Turkish hand hammering is more than just our history. "It's our DNA. We've been using traditional hand hammering techniques since day one, so as far as Sabian is concerned, this is not a fad. It's who we are."
