Shawn Crahan plays in platinum-selling metal band Slipknot alongside fellow percussionist Chris Fehn and drummer Joey Jordison.

A hard hitter with a tendency to play to the extreme high end of the volume spectrum, Crahan selected his Sabian set-up on the basis of sound and durability. Says Crahan:

\"I love Sabian cymbals because they seem to be the only cymbals in the world that that sound this good and are tough enough to handle two hundred and fifty pounds of \'go\'.\"

Adds Christian Stankee, Sabian artist relations manager (USA West):

\"Slipknot\'s music is extreme metal, really hard stuff, and Shawn\'s success with his Sabians underlines the fact that our secret-process B20 bronze is the most musical and durable cymbal metal available.\"

Shawn Crahan\'s set-up includes 15\" AA Rock Hats, an 18\" HHX Power Crash, 19\" AAXplosion Crash, 24\" and 28\" prototype rides, and an 8\" Cymbal Disc.
