Sabian Expands Cymbal Station Capabilities for Marching Percussion

July 11, 1997 -- Sabian is pleased to introduce new additions to its Cymbal Station series of marching harnesses, including retro-fit attachments for expanded capability with Sabian Cymbal Stations, and Yamaha and Pearl snare drum carriers.

Adding combined snare drum and cymbal options is the aluminum AFSC2 Cymbal Station. A lightweight harness fitted with a free-floating snare carrier and two fully adjustable arms for cymbal and hi-hat positioning, it offers players the added benefit of combining various sound sources. Featuring a snare holder and two arms, the MFSC2 is identical in design to the AFSC2 but in superlight magnesium. Designed to expand existing one-arm AFSC 1 and MFSC1 stations into two-armed AFSC2 or MFSC 2 versions, the CH1 is a retro-fit attachment which can also increase the carrying capability Pearl FFSA or Yamaha RM-FCS and RM-SFZ snare carriers to include a cymbal.

Comments David Via, Sabian Director of Marketing: "Cymbal Stations offer Marching Bands and Drum Corps unique opportunities to perform with unmatched mobility and creativity. In addition to enabling one player to perform on a snare drum and a number of different cymbals, Cymbal Stations are highly appreciated by band directors and arrangers who are now able to unify snare, hi-hat, and cymbal parts into single performer arrangements. Magic of Orlando did just that when they caputured their Top 12 position at the '96 DCI World Championships."

Sabian Cymbal Stations are designed and manufactured exclusively for Sabian by MAY, the world's leading innovator and producer of drum and cymbal marching harnesses.
