SABIAN 18" Artisan Sym Medium Light Single

SABIAN 18" Artisan Sym Medium Light Single

This 18" Artisan Medium Light cymbal responds with immediacy and clarity, delivering quick articulation across a broad dynamic range. The medium-light weight classification produces a splashier quality with shorter sustain than its heavier counterparts, making it exceptionally versatile for capturing both delicate passages and punchy crashes in the studio. Hand-crafted by master artisans using centuries-old techniques, this cymbal bridges traditional orchestral sound with modern recording demands.

Tone & Character for Recording

The Artisan Medium Light produces a rich, warm tone that cuts through dense mixes while maintaining articulate detail. Its responsive nature accommodates soft to loud dynamics without losing definition, making it an ideal choice for producers and engineers working across multiple percussion overdubs, session work, and layered arrangements where tonal consistency matters.

Construction & Craftsmanship

Traditional high-density hand hammering combines with modern jumbo-peen dimpling on the underside to create a cymbal engineered for any session. Each cymbal is individually hand-hammered and finished by master SABIAN artisans, ensuring consistency and tonal authenticity across recording sessions.
