NEW ARTISAN CRASH EXPANDS SABIAN VAULT COLLECTION

The Latest Example of Traditional Craftsmanship Enhanced

With a Touch of Innovation

MEDUCTIC, Canada– SABIAN has added a crash model to their Vault Artisan
range of premium, professional cymbals. The Artisan Crash, a
thin/extra-thin model in 16- and 18-inch sizes, was designed in the
SABIAN Vault to produce dark, traditional tone enhanced with the
benefit of modern projection. Featuring high-density hand hammering by
SABIAN master artisans and a touch of innovation, the Artisan Crash
offers traditional tonal darkness and complexity.

“Artisan crashes have been the single most requested SABIAN model since
the introduction of the Artisan Ride,” noted SABIAN Product Specialist
David Williams. “The Artisan Ride reminded drummers of the real value
of traditional hand hammered cymbal craftsmanship. As a result we had
so many requests for similar hats and crashes that we researched early
cymbal designs then designed what we feel is a better traditional
crash. This Artisan model has that soft, warm, deeply musical tone
drummers have been asking for.”

Hand crafted from SABIAN B20 bronze, the Artisan Crash features
high-density hand hammering for maximum tonal complexity. This is
augmented with jumbo-peen dimpling to increase tonal quality and
projection. All Artisan models are quality-protected by the SABIAN
Two-Year Warranty.
