More Glennie's Garbage From Sabian
January 28, 1999In response to Evelyn Glennie's request for a wider range of splash and crash
models in her Signature Series range of Glennie's Garbage, SABIAN Ltd. has introduced
new 6", 8", 14", and 18" models, for a lineup that includes
every two inches from 6" through 18".
Commented SABIAN Product Specialist David Kelley: "Glennie's Garbage
was introduced last year to meet Evelyn Glennie's request for cymbals that possessed
raw, exotic tones and were musical in the most natural sense... cymbals that
were more about color than about being cymbals. Their success comes from the
fact that they are different enough to add creative flavor, but not so different
as to limit their applications. These are very accessible cymbals and the addition
of these new sizes makes them even more so."
Crafted from a pure nickel/silver alloy - a rare metal in modern cymbal making,
it is gives these cymbals their silver appearance and contributes to their raw
sound - Glennie's Garbage are formed to high-profile shapes and over-hammered
to create tonally tight responses that are immediate and darkly colorful...
with a complex tonality that is lively and direct yet almost airy in its decay
curve. A different cymbal with a unique sound, Glennie's Garbage is a creative
option for any player looking for a new voice in accent cymbals. For more information, visit Sabian at http://www.sabian.com/ |
