Question! Why is Zildjian loosing all the major drummers to Sabian

Define "all the major drummers".  Is it major to you, or is it major, such as Steve Gadd, Steve Smith, etc.?

Im not suprised at all.... I knew it wascoming. Sabian has a very good line and has come a very long way. Now dont get me wrong zildjian have a very awesome line and i mean awesome line of cymbals. But I think if your a gospel drummer playing with zildjians they just dont have a big veriety to choose from. Your either using the A  custom or K hybrids. oposed to sabian if you play gospel you can use the aax,hhx,aa,or rock the B8's. and thats one of the reasons why i switched to the sabian line.

Forget what "the professional" told you. What did your ears tell you?! That's all that matters.

Ay,the same could be said about any manufacturer.  As min_amw stated (I'm adding an underscore for emphasis), "What did your ears tell you?! That's all that matters."

Though Min and j_kay brought up very valid points, I have another:

Could it be that this professional has never heard a Sabian cymbal yet?

Possibly, or it could be that the ears (read: eyes) are (deafened) blinded by the black ink logos that are emblazoned onto the pies. 

I've known a lot of people that have this same syndrome.  It's known to be a killer disease!   ;D

AAX compare to A Custom
AA compare to A/Avedis Zildjian
HHX compare to K Custom
HH compare to Vintage K/Pre-Aged K
APX compare to Z Customs (as far as target market) ...Paiste Alpha 600 series (IMO though very different price point), Paiste RUDES, Paiste 2002, Meinl Mb 10,12, 20
Vault ride compare to K Constantinople
B8/B8 Pro/Pro Sonix compare to ZBT/ZXT/ZHT

V (Vault series crashes/rides/hi-hats non-Signature converts) compare to (Zildjian has nothing)

XS20 compare to  (Zildjian has nothing)      ...closet to Paiste Twenty thou the Sabian are not as high end in this model
