Sabian - Because Sound Matters

Rex Hardy on Heart of the City & SABIAN Cymbals

May 16, 2008

 I have to start off by saying the HEART OF THE CITY TOUR was a great tour to be on with two of the biggest artists of our time. (Mary J Blige & Jay-Z). SABIAN Cymbals gave me the exact sound I was looking for as they always do. Its funny because by Mary now having a different variety of songs you have to have the right gear to accomplish that & SABIAN does just that.

The arenas have been sold out in every city. As you can see from my cymbal set-up I have a lot of different combinations & every cymbal has a certain purpose. Tony Royster (Jay-z's Drummer) had a fit when he saw & heard my SABIAN set-up & now he is apart of the SABIAN family himself. I've done 2 Mary J. Blige Records using this set-up (The Breakthrough Album & My Collection of Love Songs) and they always come thru crisp. SABIAN is the best cymbal company by far for any situation.

SABIAN would like to congratulate Rex & Tony on a superb tour. Also a big shout out to Jerzey on percussion! He was coloring up the rhythm for both Mary and Jay's set with his SABIAN set up.
