[This giveaway is part of a series in The Most Awesomest Christmas Giveaways for WorshipDrummers] Have you subscribed to our WorshipDrummer E-Newsletter? We sent out an exclusive video last week revealing this giveaway. Don’t miss out! It only takes 10 seconds to subscribe!
What a month it’s been! We’ve had some awesome giveaways to date from our friends at Evans and Pro-Mark. We also gave away a Cobus Method DVD Box Set and today we launch our last giveaway of the month.
I am so excited to announce that our new friends at Sabian are hooking us up with an awesome and final giveaway.
First off, I am a hardcore supporter of Sabian cymbals and I truly will not buy or voluntarily play any other cymbal (that’s why I’m selling a 16″ A Zildjian Medium Thin Crash that I won at a drum clinic – personally signed by Teddy Campbell).
I’ve been playing Sabian cymbals for the last 12 years, and have still not managed to crack a cymbal. I cannot say enough good things about it so the only way to show you is to give away some awesome cymbals.
The Cymbals
We will be giving away a 16″ AAX X-PLOSION Crash, and a 11″ AAX X-PLOSION splash (total retail value of $531) to one lucky winner. These two cymbals are a part of Sabian’s AAX Performance Pack for Gospel, and Praise and Worship Music and are a great option for churches.

Congrats to Paul Owen who is the winner of our final giveaway. I’ve sent an email with instructions. Finally, thank you to all who participated and made this an exciting way to end 2011. Here’s to an even greater 2012!
well right now i have no idea what kind of cymbals i play, the markings came off. but i used to play Meinl’s. and LOVED them!!
Nice! (I’ve always wanted to try Meinl cymbals).
I currently use Meinl HCS cymbals and I have one very old and well used Sabian AAX. Would love to add to the arsenal!
Sweet! Good luck 🙂
Very nice! Would be a sweet add no doubt. Best wishes to everyone for a very happy new year!
Thanks Mike! Happy New Year to you 😉
I currently play:
Sabian AAX X-plosion 18″ and 17″ crashes
Sabian AAX 18″ stage crash
Sabian AXX 21″ stage ride
And the black sheep: Zildjian 14″ new beats
AAX!!! A man after my own heart ..love them!
Zildjian 20in K Custom Hybrid Ride
Zildjain 14in A Armand Hi Hats
Zildjian 18in A Medium Crash
Dry, without killing all of the sustain.
Plus, the K Custom Hybrid is sounds amazing when crashed.
Nice! If i HAD to choose a Zildjian cymbal I would go with the K Constantinople ride.
I’m trying to win for my boyfriend for his birthday this month, I have no idea what kind he has.
That’s really kind of you! He’ll love you even more 🙂
I play a mix of cheap Paiste and some older Zildians.. I am not reallt a big fan of the sound thats why I would love some new Sabians!!!!
Awesome. Best of luck!
Sabian B-8
Not playing any right now, they were stolen three months ago.
seriously? Ouch! I guess you can make good use of these if you win.
Sabian B8 14″ Hats
Sabian B8 18″ Crash Ride
Sabian B8 16″ Thin Crash
They came in an inexpensive bundle.
I play Zildjian ZBT’s(crash, ride, hi-hats), Agazarian Splash, and a Stagg YR Crash. The Stagg crash’s sound is terrible IMO, but the Zildjian’s have a really nice sound to them. Believe it or not, the Agazarian Splash sounds really good. But the main reason I play these is because of the fact I can’t afford anything else;)
I use the black sheep Zildjian 14″
And I love them cause they just sound good
I play Zildjian 13.25 hybrid hats, Sabian XS20 crashes and splash from a promo set, some trashy china with long ago gone markings and a fantastic Istabnul ride that looks like crap, but sounds godly. Quite a crazy mix brand-wize.
I have no idea what make my cymbals are, but they sound damn good!
Sabian B-8
Love them! Awesome cymbals!
I’ve got one Paiste ride/crash, and hate it, but cn’t afford more.
I currently own no cymbals but previously owned Paiste!
I’m not sure what they are because their labels were gone when I got them. They’re cheap and sound terrible.
Zildjian A and zbt’s.
I use.. ok.. here goes.. Sabian HHX, Zildjian A customs.. and Ufip.. too many to label.. but those are my fav’s
Well, it’s not me but my son, and he play Paiste kit because it’s first one
I currently using my Zildjian ZXT rock Cymbal set. Is not I like them, but friends around recommend Zildjian is the best cymbal ever made and my parent got me (and this is the highest budget they allow me to spend for my cymbal pack…).
I still like them because somehow, my cymbals give me more confidence when I using them rather than others (no worry, I’ve tried Sabian and I love HHX series. Those I tried were beginner grade Meinl & Paiste).
I’m currently using:
Sabian Pro Sonix 14″ Hats
Sabian Pro Sonix 20″ Ride
Sabian El Sabor 16″ Crash
Sabian HHX 16″ Crash
My favourite is definitely the El Sabor, it has this lovely warm ‘washy’ sound to it, really versatile. The Pro sonix ride is surprisingly nice too, although the hats are a little dull.
I currently don’t play the drums – I’m hoping to win this for my son who wants to learn to play the drums.
I currently play:
Sabian AA 10″ splash
Zildjian 14″ hi-hat
Zildjian 16″ crash
Zildjian 20″ ride
The only one I really like is the Sabian splash. I bought it used and it’s of good quality and sounds great. The other Zildjian’s were all part of a special discounted package set and are not their best, but were all I could afford at the time, and they get the job done.
I would love to gift these cymbals to my best friend Mike, a truly dedicated drummer. Peace
And the beat goes on.
I currently play Sabian AXX cymbals. Crashes, splashes, hi-hats, and ride. I like them because of their brightness and ability to cut through the mix.
I can really use these. I only have one cymbal with my set.
16″ ZBT Rock Crash
20″ ZBT Rock Ride
14″ ZBT Rock Hi-hats this is what i run
Please enter me.
I use Meinl HCS and I love them!!! Because they are cheap but you still get quality sound!!
AAX 20″ ride
AAX 16″ Crash
AAX 14″ Crash
AAX 12″ high-hats
AAX 8″ splash
Just added a Dream 16″ China because at a jam someone walked out with my 16″AAX xplosion, not impressed! So I need to win this to replace my loss!
These are some great symbols. My buddy just got a sabian symbol package for christmas and they sound amazing.
Zildjian and Sabian could really use an addition to the set
I hate saying it, but I have a thick, no-name (really…blank) crash, but I have Zildjian ZBT hihats and a crash/ride. I like them, but end up spending any extra money on guitar gear or to build up my home studio. I need to show my kit some love and these would be the perfect way to do that. They would also make the drum tracks that much better, I’m sure!
14″ Sabian B8 HH, 18″ Sabian B8 Crash/Ride, 20″ Sabian B8 Ride, 18 Sabian AA China, 10″ Agazarian Splash, 12″ Agazarian China, and 18″ Agazarian China
Paiste 12″ HH, 16″ Ride, 14″ Crash and a Wuhan 6″ China. They were inexpensive.
Boom shalacka Boom Boom
I play the cymbals at church they are old beat up Sabians I don’t know the model number I am sure in the day they were great but they are not so great anymore!!!!
Well, at the moment zildjian zbt HH and ride, Paiste PST 5 16″ Crash and Paiste 101 12″ Splash…
Reason… because i’m a 17 year old student so they were affordable.. 😉 But i love my Paiste crash, its so washy, perfect for worship.
Happy New Year Sir!
Zildjian ZBT Rock 4 pack Cymbals. Need an upgrade!
currently have some old Sabians, but I have no idea what model they are. They still sound great though! It would be awesome to be able to add some new Sabians to the mix!!
I use Zildjian A’s and a Dyno Beat high hats at church, because my church owns them and they sound pretty sweet. I use Meinl MCS cymbal pack at home because they work for practice and sound good compared to other cheap cymbals.
I know that my son has Zildjians, they are old and cracking, but they are really thick and have lasted decades from the previous owner and he just has to get by with them for now.
here is my tweet:

zildjian ax china, and a vintage zildjian crash/ride, don’t know the model, polished off before I got it, sabian heavy hats. I like the tonality of the crash ride, just the right amount of ring to crash ratio.
paiste brass cymbals i use
Ever since I started playing I have used Sabain B8s. 14″ hihats,16″ and 18″ thin crashes, a 20″ ride, and a 10″ splash. Im looking for an upgrade right now but my budget is very tight.
Sabian AAX amd HHX. Canadian Made you can’t beat them.. Well yes you can as much as possible.
Sabian AAs
Currently playing: All Zildjians:
10″ A-Custom Splash
16″ Z-Custom Rock Crash
13″ KZ Hats
20″ A-Custom Swish
20″ Custom K Dry Ride
In need of a couple new crashes (hence the entry!)
always bright clear tone.
The Custom K Dry ride is the COOLEST ride cymbal ever. You just CAN’T load it up. Always nice clear sticking on every stroke. Won’t work for Van Halen-esque ride work, but hey, that’s what crash-rides are for!
I like my 20″ Swish, but I LOVED my 18″ swish. Wish it wouldn’t have broken! The Rock crash is actually a little too much for what I’m doing now (worship music) but it was an awesome cymbal back in the bar-star days! Super loud and tons of attitude.
13″ KZ hats are the only hi hats that should exist. Cut through the mix, nice and chippy, and always great response.
My son is playing on used Zildjians from the 1960s or 70s, they came with his used 1960s Pearl drum set that he plays on everyday…
My husband is the drummer and he plays Zildjians. Not sure what models or anything for any of them though.
I had a nice set w/11 cymbals all sabian B8s unfortunatly I had to sell ,Just got another set and these cymbals would be a gem…Hope i win and if I dont good luck to all and congrats to the winner………
