🎥 PART 1: Inside the Sabian Factory – How the Best Cymbals Get Made!

Come with me as I take you inside the legendary Sabian cymbal factory in Meductic, New Brunswick! In this first episode, I sit down with Randy Ross, Sabian’s Director of Research & Development, to explore how Sabian pushes the boundaries of cymbal design, what sets their sound apart, and how innovation meets tradition inside these walls.

Then we hit the factory floor for an in-depth look at the entire cymbal-making process — from raw metal to final polish. 🔥
