history
After Avedis Zildjian - the founder of the US company Zildjian - died in 1979, his sons Robert and Armand Zildjian took over the company. In 1981, however, Robert separated from his brother to start his own company with Sabian.
Sabian was relatively unknown until 1983, when the company was able to establish itself in the market with the AA and HH series . These products were originally developed for symphonic and orchestral music. Over the years, Sabian developed numerous high-quality products with the help of well-known specialists, which have made the brand one of the market leaders in the field of drum cymbals.
Robert Zildjian died on March 28, 2013.
Alongside Zildjian , Meinl and Paiste , Sabian is now one of the largest pool manufacturers in the world.
