At SABIAN, pushing the boundaries of innovation isn’t just what we do; it’s who we are. That spirit is alive and well in two of our latest creations: Cymbits and the XSR Effeks Clap. Whether you’re chasing bold new textures or dialing in a nostalgic vibe, these new tools were made to expand your creative arsenal.
Cymbits
Cymbits are the kind of accessory that instantly sparks creativity. Made from seven 2-inch O-Zone B20 bronze cutouts, Cymbits are linked together into a chain, giving you endless sonic possibilities in a compact, portable form. Stack them on your ride cymbal to get a dry, sizzling response with shortened sustain, or toss them on a crash to turn up the trash factor with a sizzling twist.
The versatility doesn’t stop there, place Cymbits on or in your hats for a jingle-like shimmer or get unconventional by securing them to the lugs of your toms or snare using a drum key. The result is a unique blend of distortion and jingle that transforms your drums into something entirely new. Designed for players who love experimenting, Cymbits are a must-have for any drummer.
XSR Effeks Clap
You asked, we listened. The XSR Effeks Clap is SABIAN’s answer to the classic ’80s digital clap sound, but with the warmth and presence of real bronze. This 3-piece stack is crafted from raw B20 bronze, shaped with a slightly curved and relaxed profile to perfectly capture that iconic snap, minus the harsh, metallic overtones.
Designed to reduce unwanted high-pitched resonance, the XSR Effeks Clap delivers a tight, focused tone that’s full of character and instantly recognizable. Whether you’re layering it into a groove or using it as a standalone effect, it’s a powerful addition for drummers looking to blend retro influence with modern feel.
Sizzle and Stack
Whether you’re enhancing your kit with subtle textures or reaching for a bold new voice, Cymbits and the XSR Effeks Clap are ready to change the way you think about accessories. A sizzle and a stack are all it takes to spark something new!
