SABIAN 19" Artisan Traditional Sym Medium Light Single

SABIAN 19" Artisan Traditional Sym Medium Light Single

This 19" Medium Light cymbal responds with immediate sensitivity and produces a rich, warm tone that cuts through dense mixes at moderate to loud levels. The Medium Light weight category delivers a splashier quality and shorter sustain compared to heavier Artisan pairs, making it exceptionally responsive for layered cymbal textures and successive loud crashes in tracked sessions. Hand-crafted by master SABIAN artisans, this single cymbal draws on a century of traditional cymbal design refined for modern recording and production demands.

Tone & Acoustic Character

The Artisan Traditional series combines traditional high-density hand hammering with modern jumbo-peen dimpling on the underside to produce musically complex, warm tones with controlled sustain. This design philosophy—favored by session and studio percussionists seeking consistent, articulate cymbal voices for overdubbing and multi-take sessions—delivers the benchmark sound that translates cleanly to mic'ed recordings, making it an excellent choice for capturing authentic cymbal character in the studio.

Build & Materials

Constructed from premium B20 bronze with a natural finish, each cymbal is individually hand-crafted to exacting standards. The combination of high-density hand hammering and modern peen dimpling creates a cymbal that balances traditional acoustic character with consistent playability across tracking, from intimate close-mic techniques to distant overhead placement.
