Sabian Custom Shop Cymbal Demo with Rusty Ellis

Today, our good friend and customer, Rusty Ellis, is here to demo and talk about some Sabian Custom Shop cymbals that he had custom made by Sabian. The Sabian Custom shop is an awesome feature that Sabian introduced recently. Basically, you can work directly with the cymbal craftsmen at Sabian to get a cymbal custom made to produce the sound that you are looking for. Whether it’s a pair of hi hats, crash cymbals, ride cymbal, or even effects cymbal, if you have a certain sound in your head, Sabian will do their very best to craft a cymbal that produces the sound you’ve been imagining.
Rusty’s custom cymbals include a custom 20” HHX Complex O-zone and a 22” Ride that he wanted to project but also be crashable and sound like an HHX.

You can work with Sabian’s Custom Shop through their website:
