A SABIAN artist since 1985, the late drumming teacher Dom Famularo was synonymous with the company and shared its passion for artistry and dedication to the drumming craft. In that spirit, SABIAN has honored its longtime friend and partner with the new 20-inch HHX Dominator China. Famularo played his Chinas by striking the edge from both sides in succession, so much so that he actually removed tension from the lips of his HHX China cymbals, which gave them a distinctive, wavy appearance. By applying a special lathing process to the top of the Dominator, SABIAN’s artisans were able to emulate this effect, which along with a raw bell and HHX hammering, makes for a freer, trashier instrument that opens up fast for a quick, dark attack.
