Drum Cymbal Sabian 16" Vault Artisan Crash (Brilliant)

The Artisan series represents the pinnacle of Sabian craftsmanship, combining ancient forging techniques with cutting-edge sound design. These cymbals embody the depth, character, and warmth of old-school tone, yet remain versatile – they sound great in jazz, rock, R&B, and even contemporary electronic music. They are designed for musicians who seek a truly vibrant response and a natural reaction to every touch of the stick. The Artisan series is the result of collaboration between Sabian's leading craftsmen and the world's finest jazz drummers, striving for the perfect balance between warmth and expressiveness.

The Sabian 16" Vault Artisan Crash is a fast-paced crash with a deep, slightly dirty sound that opens with a full, musically rich tone. Its thin profile and expert hand-forging give it an immediate attack, rich midrange, and a dark finish. It combines traditional warmth, complex tone, and incredible sensitivity, perfectly suiting any style. It's the perfect choice for drummers who value not just volume, but the emotion and character of each sound. The cymbal is made of B20 bronze, a high-quality alloy composed of approximately 80% copper and 20% tin. It is traditionally used for professional cymbals due to its deep, warm, and more musical sound. B20 bronze cymbals boast a wide dynamic range, natural sustain, and complex harmonic structure, making them the choice of leading drummers worldwide. Unlike natural finishes, Brilliant has a glossy, polished surface that provides a brighter, more resonant sound and powerful attack.
