Sabian Cymbals

Sabian has all the sounds and colors I need in a cymbal.

When I'm playing straight-ahead jazz, I usually go for a darker sound. Jack D's signature cymbals work great.

For rock, I use AA or AAX. Nice, bright, and powerful. They really cut thru the amps.

For last minute sessions when I don't know the kind of music I'm going to record/play, I can ALWAYS rely on my HH series cymbals. HHX if I need more projection.

Almost all of my students start out with a Sabian cymbal pack.

These are the cymbals I use:
Sabian Jack DeJohnette Encore cymbals
14" Hi-Hats
18" crash
21" ride

Sabian Hand Hammered cymbals
12" mini hats
15" thin crash
18" Dark crash
10" and 12" Splashes
21" Raw Bell Dry Ride
