Up for sale are these cool vintage Sabian 16" crash cymbals, featuring the classic early 1980s block-letter logos from Sabian’s formative years in Meductic, Canada.

Crafted from pro-grade B20 cast bronze, these cymbals deliver a wonderfully warm, organic musicality that modern machine-made cymbals struggle to replicate. They feature a responsive, medium-thin profile that opens up immediately when struck, delivering a rich, complex vintage wash with a quick, satisfying decay.

Key Features & Tone:

• Early Vintage Era: Stamped with the classic 1980s transition-era logos.
• Versatile Response: Fast and responsive at lower volumes, yet robust enough to punch through when driven harder.
• Versatile Setup: Can be used as individual/matched crashes or configured together as massive, dark 16" hi-hats.

Condition & Details:

• Good condition overall for their vintage age, showing normal signs of use including surface patina, finger marks, and standard cosmetic aging. Very slight keyholing on one cymbal. No flea bites.

"Looking for just one instead of the pair? Shoot me a message and I can set up a separate listing for a single cymbal!"
