Sabian Announces New Branding at NAMM 2019

Sabian Announces New Branding at NAMM 2019

What’s With The New Sabian Logo? See the Sabian Press Release below:

Things are changing around here. We announced a new brand direction at the NAMM show this January. We have a new logo, a new look, and an attitude adjustment.

We’ve zeroed in on why every hammer stroke matters, and why creating new sounds are so important to us. It is because we are a company of drummers that are never satisfied. We are always on the search for the next sound because we know, as a drummer, you are not interested in following the masses – we know that you’re focused on your sound, your own unique style, and ultimately, your love of drumming.

As drummers, we see ourselves as different than other musicians: we will accept nothing less than authenticity; we have an emotional connection to our gear, and our playing – let’s face it – at times we can be a bit unhinged. At SABIAN we celebrate this and while other brands are stuck in their tradition and legacy as a company – we are focused on your future as a drummer.

So what does all this mean?

It’s not just a new logo: it’s us tapping into the unbound, ‘don’t-care-what-others-think’ philosophy drummers live by. It means we will never compromise or ask permission, that we will continue to make cymbals that are unique, and we will always be looking for the next sound. It means we treat our cymbals as living metal, allowing them to age and mature. It means we celebrate independence and dissonance. Most of all, it means we know you, the drummer makes the music, and that is why we exist.

Chris Turner  – Unbound

 

“Drummers are like no others. We greet each other with a hug, we share, we are emotionally and artistically aware, and we get our whole mind and body involved in our creative expression. At SABIAN, we not only understand that–we live it. Our energy is part of every cymbal we craft, and that’s reflected in our new logo and our commitment to remain Unbound. That energy helps drummers express themselves creatively like nothing else can.” –Andy Zildjian, SABIAN President

The Most Desirable Guitar Ever Made Celebrates Its 60th Anniversary.

2019 marks the 60th anniversary

2019 marks the 60th anniversary of the most legendary guitar of all time: The 1959 Les Paul Standard. 

Ever wondered what makes a Les Paul so unique, genre-bending and versatile? Ever wondered why every discerning guitar-head will tell you the Les Paul 59 Standard is the holy grail of guitars? It’s a good thing for us, that blues guitar lord, Joe Bonamassa has all the answers!

Why Is the Les Paul 1959 Standard so revered?

Joe calls it the “modern day Stradavarius”. Countless guitar heroes have played them, including Eric Clapton, Paul Kossoff, Jeff Beck, Slash, Peter Green and Joe Perry. So why are they so good? Here’s what Joe has to say on the matter.

Why are Les Pauls so versatile?

There are an infinite amount of tones you can get out of a Les Paul with one guitar lead going straight into the amp and no need for a single pedal. This is what makes the LP able to handle so many different styles of music, from blues, heavy metal, through to country and jazz. The Les Paul can do it all. Joe Bonamassa tells us why:

amPlug 2 Guitar/Bass Headphone Amplifiers

With amPlug 2, the crucial analog circuit has been drastically improved, and each model now provides three modes. Guitar types provide multi-effect functionality, and a rhythm function has been added to the bass type.

The amPlug is the simplest way to get serious sound; occupying virtually no space, it’s an ideal choice for any guitarist or bassist.

    Bass: Designed specifically for low frequencies, offering a wide-range response.
    Clean: The ideal choice for fat, boutique inspired clean sounds.

Kemper Profiler

CabDriver™ Stereo, Celestion® cabinets, UI2MIDI, seamless Momentary/Latch with the PROFILER Remote™, and a Spring Reverb goody in the current public beta

The KEMPER PROFILER™ OS version 5.5.2 contains a number of user-driven features.

Digital Connection

In conjunction with digital recording equipment and connected via S/PDIF the PROFILER™ now supports the sample rates 44.1, 48, 88.2 and 96 KHz. The PROFILER has to be the master though.

Cabdriver in Stereo

When using the PROFILER in a live or rehearsal room situation it is now possible to run regular guitar cabinets in stereo alongside the full range signal for recording or FOH purposes. That means PROFILER players now can drive two or more guitar cabinets for personal monitoring or in the rehearsal room or on stage in full stereo while at the same time the Full Range signal is available for recording purposes or for sending it to FOH. Please note that the PROFILER PowerHead and PowerRack are equipped with mono power amps. A second amp is required for powering guitar cabs in stereo.

Cabinets from Celestion®

The legendary manufacturers of the popular Celestion® loudspeakers for guitar have created IRs (impulse responses) of their most famous and sought-after speakers in conjunction with all the popular cabinet designs and microphone settings and made them available for purchase at www.celestionplus.com. To PROFILER players now 18 selected Celestion® cabinets are available for free.

UI2MIDI

The PROFILER now can send all editing action made on the PROFILER panel or on the PROFILER Remote to a second PROFILER or a DAW via the Midi Output.
PROFILER players can now control two or more PROFILERS using one REMOTE only or record a complete performance in terms of program changes, FX switching, morphing, etc. to a DAW for the purpose to automate a show. Also, many touring acts have some backup PROFILER with them. Now it is very easy to keep the PROFILERS identical with the backup systems when it comes to doing some edit changes to the performances and setups during rehearsals and on tour via the new UI2MIDI feature. When connected via MIDI a second PROFILER mirrors all the edits made on the main machine and makes maintaining complex PROFILER systems pretty easily.

Momentary/Latched

The Effect Buttons on the PROFILER Remote now automatically switch from latch to momentary, when the switches are held for a second, without the need for a dedicated configuration. For activating effects, controlling the rotary speed or freezing delays and reverbs, PROFILER players can intuitively choose for latching an effect or deactivating it by simply releasing the Effect Button.

And last but not least a special treat

Spring Reverb – A staple of great guitar tone is the classic spring reverb effect. Now, this is available to all PROFILER players with the current public beta OS 5.6.2 Spring Reverb Preview. The spring reverb effect features the unique parameter “Dripstone” and delivers highly authentic spring reverbs from sought-after combo amps. It is considered already as “best in class” amongst PROFILER players worldwide. The Spring Reverb will still be enhanced during the course of the beta phase and it will also get some company soon – to be continued. Source Info
