Carmine Appice's Sabian 21" Prototype Ride Cymbal (CA2 #10) SIGNED!

Carmine Appice's Sabian 21" Prototype Ride Cymbal (CA2 #10) SIGNED!

From the Carmine Appice Collection at Donn Bennett’s Drum Vault in Seattle, WA. 

It’s impossible to adequately describe Carmine’s massive impact on the drum world. He redefined rock drumming with his innovative playing with Vanilla Fudge, Cactus, Beck Bogart and Appice, Rod Stewart, Ozzy Osborne, Edgar Winter, Ted Nugent and more. He literally “wrote the book” on rock drumming with his “Realistic Rock” drum method, the best selling rock drum book of all time. He introduced the rock drum world to China cymbals and gongs that are now commonplace on the modern drum set. Carmine is without a doubt, one of the most influential and innovative drummers of our time.

We've just acquired another huge collection of drum gear directly from Carmine Appice. This is just one piece of the collection currently available here at Donn Bennett’s Drum Vault.

This 21" Sabian prototype ride cymbal was the final step in the development of what was to become Carmine's signature model 21" Sabain ride cymbal. It's very heavy and pingy. It also has a really long sustain and a bell that screams Blue Murder! In almost perfect shape. Carmine played it just enough to know that the cymbal makers at Sabian had finally captured his legendary cymbal sound. No markings except for the Sabian logo and Carmine's hand signed autograph on the underside of the cymbal.

Nice, clear stick definition, great crash sound and cuts through in any style of music.

Here's a great piece of Carmine Appice, Sabian and Rock 'n 'Roll history.

Includes COA signed by Carmine Appice.
