SABIAN has honored the late drumming teacher Dom Famularo (1953–2023), a SABIAN artist since 1985, 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, giving 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.
TASCAM has introduced the DA-3000SD two-channel DSD/PCM Master Recorder with AD/DA Converter.
