SABIAN 22-INCH HHX TEMPEST RIDE & AAX 18-INCH ROCKTAGON CYMBALS

SABIAN has re-released the 22-inch HHX Tempest Ride and the AAX 18-inch Rocktagon cymbals. Originally released as part of SABIAN’s Vault Drop program, both of these cymbals were only available for a limited time, but due to popular demand, both cymbals have now been added into the SABIAN catalog on a permanent basis. The 18-inch AAX Rocktagon has the same eight- sided shape as its predecessor from the 1980s, but that’s where the similarity ends. This version is a thin crash weight with a raw un-hammered bell and pinpoint lathing that combine with the eight-sided shape to produce an immediate nasty crash with quick decay. The 22-inch HHX Tempest is a multi-application cymbal with an incredible dynamic range. A specially modified HHX hammer peen brings a unique look, feel and sound to this cymbal . {sabian.com} PRINT, MULTIMEDIA & GIFTS

BLACK SWAMP HEADLESS TAMBOURINES

Black Swamp Percussion has launched a new line headless tambourines featuring the same com- ponents and materials used in its orchestral tam- bourine models. A solid ash shell is available in single- or double-row options. Modifications to Black Swamp’s standard shell depth reduces weight and increases maneuverability. A selection of four distinct jingle configurations is available for both single- and double-row versions: Chromium 25, German Silver, Aged Brass and a Chromium 25/Phosphor Bronze combination. Each model also includes a perma- nent rubber guard installed to both protect the shell when playing with a stick, or protect performer’s hands when holding and playing . {blackswamp.com}
