Both are offering premium ‘Old World’ sounds that are tonally deep, dark and rich, with a robust vintage musicality. Medium-thin in weight, the Suspended responds readily for crashing or crescendos, ensuring complete control for the player.

Sabian\'s Master Product Specialist Mark Love comments:

\"The sound of a Vault Artisan Traditional Symphonic cymbal is that of a century-old model that has matured through decades of playing. It’s a combination of high-density traditional hand hammering and a touch of innovation that actually improves on the performance and sound of those older cymbals. Like the Vault Artisan Hand Cymbals, this Suspended model responds easily and dynamically, so the desired sound is readily accessible.\"

Vault Artisan Traditional cymbals are designed by the Sabian Vault Team in collaboration with a number of the world’s leading percussionists.

Vault Artisan Traditional Symphonic models are individually hand crafted from premium B20 bronze by Sabian Master Artisans. They are quality-protected by the Sabian two-year warranty.
