They'll probably keep it in the line up; the Signature line is now defunct.  It is now called the Vault Series.

...not after this: 
 
  John Blackwell commented, "I've always loved Zildjians - my dad always played A Zildjians, so I grew up playing them. After hearing the crispness of the Hybrids and other lines like K Constantinople and the Armand Series, I was hooked. And the people at Zildjian are like family."[/u]

this is how the meeting went....

Craigie Z: hey John what are you doing these days?

JB: nothin just working on my twirls, you know these youger cats are out twirling me so I gotta stay on top of my game....

Craigie Z: well you know we went up on our prices, so if you would come on board we could actually add you to our paid artist roster, but you can't tell anybody....

JB: well.... no I don't see nothin wrong with that, being that I can use the xtra cash, but you all have to make me my own cymbals, I know thats why Dave left you, I hope you alls attitudes have changed since then, I mean those HH, HHX sound spetacular, whats the closest thing you have to them?

Craigie Z: well you know we have those Hybrids, K cons, I'm pretty sure we can find you something and just say that your dad used them when he was a kid, ( you know so it'll go over easy with the public, (but smack my uncle and cousins in their face)... so do we have a deal?

JB: sounds great where do I sign and when do I get my first check.....

From what i heard from an source is that the reason he left is because when he went to tape his live DVD recording for his  new DVD Sabian wouldnt send him any new cymbals for the recording even though he sent back the ones from the Justin Timberlake tour. . . . .

just what i heard

Sounds like an embarrassing misunderstanding.

i seriously doubt thats the reason why he left, thats so minor. They send cymbals to guys that have gigs that nobody's even heard of and this is blackwell, one of the newere faces of the company. But i know he was sayin that he always like their cymbals...i mean thats it i guess.....i know they definitely showed him love @ sabian, maybe he just wanted some more love.

as for me, im great, ive been with them since i was like 20, its a great family and they take excellent care of me. I like alot of different cymbals though. Zildjian's good, instanbul, ufips...its a lot of dope cymbals out there, but im not a ship jumper...
but things like dat will happen when u dont stay on top of ur contract extensions, They seem to forget about them because u become family, but as u can see, they should have, then again, they dont want anybody that doesnt wanna be there....
