About This Listing

Like a great recording made even better, the Sabian 17" Artisan Crash has been remastered for deeper, warmer, more musically complex tones. Responses are faster, full and packed with tonal colour. The Artisan Crash, with its raw bell design and high-density hand hammering, is truly a masterpiece. The pinnacle of cymbal manufacturing, these fine instruments work superbly in any musical setting, whether Rock, Hip-Hop, R&B or Jazz.

Product Overview
Originally part of the Vault family, the Artisan series is Sabian's rendition of nuanced, tonally complex vintage cymbals produced in the early and mid Twentieth Century. These cymbals are produced with a "Masterpiece" finish created from fire-refined B20 bronze, allowing traces of silver to remain in the alloy and producing a sedate brilliance to the final product.

The crash is built with a thin weight and heavily hammered bow. The cymbal produces an atmospheric, dark wash.

Years of production: 2008-present

Composition: Sabian B20 Alloy (80% bronze, 20% copper, traces of silver)

Notable players: Billy Cobham, Jojo Mayer, Tony Royster Jr.
