SABIAN 19" Artisan Traditional Sym Medium Heavy Single

SABIAN 19" Artisan Traditional Sym Medium Heavy Single

This 19" Medium Heavy cymbal captures authority and presence in the studio, delivering the controlled crash articulation essential to orchestral overdubs and symphonic session work. Hand-crafted by SABIAN artisans using time-honored techniques, the Artisan Traditional Sym produces a rich, warm tone with clear definition across dynamic ranges. Built to replace aging orchestral models, it pairs modern construction refinements with the sonic character that has defined professional percussion recording for generations.

Tone & Sustain Character

The dark timbre and extended sustain cut through a dense orchestral mix without introducing brittle frequencies. Medium-Heavy weight delivers a full, resonant crash suitable for loud dynamic levels in the recording space while maintaining articulate attack on single and successive strikes—critical for capturing clean takes in multitrack sessions.

Construction & Craftsmanship

Each cymbal undergoes high-density hand hammering combined with modern jumbo-peen dimpling on the underside—a hybrid approach that marries traditional orchestral sound with contemporary durability and consistency across multiple recordings. Individually crafted by master SABIAN artisans, this single represents the benchmark standard for hand cymbals across studio percussion and session work.
