Sabian Ice Bell???

[santi3hg]

Have I been really confused all these years or did Sabian stop making Ice Bells, I swear they made it. Now I can't find any online. Help!

I dunno man. I saw one the other day at a music shop but I think it was used. I know Sabian doesnt have the bell on their website.

You know I'm pretty sure someone on here has one. I'm pretty sure it was the Ice Bell from Sabian, and not the Zil-bel. I know LP makes one and apparently from looking at random drum shops so does Paiste. Wtf?

I cannot find it online as well, but it is in the 2006 catalogue. I belive it's sizes are 7", 9", and 12". I myself have a 7", and I bought it a couple of weeks ago, so yeah, they still make it.

Sabian only puts the 200-odd most popular items in each catalogue, but don't normally discontinue things [unless for a specific reason]. It is the same with the Radia stuff, it's no longer in the catalogue but all still available [except for the splashes].

Check out the UFiP bells, they're really beautiful and melodic. They leave even the Paiste bells for dead and they're priced cheaper. My next purchase'll be a 6".

i believe its under the HH line, ive got the 12" bell. (upon measuring it, its 11")

its not under conventional cymbals. it was on the website a couple months ago.

[bobby__johnny]

its classed in their orchestral stuff. you usually can get them through special order from any local sabian dealer.

[santi3hg]

Phew I thought I was nuts, Aaron how might I find a dealr for UFIP and a possible sound click?

[Sabian4015]

Yea I know Sabian makes bells, I've seen 'em before.

[Chippy569]

eBay for some of the Radia bells (that's bozzio's line)... now THOSE are serious bells.

[Aaron]

Yeah. The radia stuff is so good.

[TormentorScott]

I NEVER wanted a bell on my kit untill I heard the Radia Bell (I think it was 8")

I might buy one from some kid for 30 buckaroos USD

[Parradiddle Pete]

Go for either the radia bell or the Stagg Black Metal one. I got mine for £12 and it's absolutly amazing!

That is because UFIP use to be just focus on percussion, hence why they have a huge range of it.

That is the only US sales person I know of.

Yeah. The radia stuff is so good.

not all of it....the majority of the radia line is so specific sounding....unlike normal cymals....


the 6" Radia bell though....now THATS a bell!

[Panopticon]

I will actually be getting a radia bell in the near future:thumb:

I think I'm one of the two people in the world that like the crashes. the other person being bozzio :lol:

Whats a bell cymbal that sounds more aggressive and harsh then say... the 12" Ice Bell?

13" Paiste Mega Cup Chime

[TTTSNB]

13" Paiste Mega Cup Chime
Sounds good. I've heard alot of good things about that one, I'll definitely try it out. My 12" is just too mellow for the things I use it for.

[bobby__johnny]

definatly the mega cup

[Aaron]

Sounds good. I've heard alot of good things about that one, I'll definitely try it out. My 12" is just too mellow for the things I use it for.
I love them. Heavy and gnarly enough to use as an aux ride, but the perfect bell-tone

[bobby__johnny]

oh, and the 6" Cup Chime....very bright, tight, and loud

[Aaron]

aye, was going to mention that. The Paiste 6" Accept cymbal is great, but subtle and not-loud.

[TTTSNB]

Sounds good. I'll try one out.

oh, and the 6" Cup Chime....very bright, tight, and loud I'll try that too, might be a bit too high pitched though.
