Sabian Cymbals was founded in 1981, by Robert Zildjian, when he had a conflict with his brother Armand after he was not chosen to be the main CEO and successor of Avedis Zildjian. Robert opened Sabian in the small eastern Canadian village of Meductic, New Brunswick. The name ‘Sabian’ comes from the first two letters of the names of Robert’s three children (Sally, Billy, and Andy).

We won’t compromise. And are glad our handmade cymbals are scarce. We are not for everybody. You bleed music. We bleed drumming.
