SABIAN 19" Artisan Traditional Symphonic Medium Heavy

SABIAN 19" Artisan Traditional Symphonic Medium Heavy

The SABIAN 19" Artisan Medium Heavy captures articulate clarity and sustained projection in the studio, delivering the dark, focused character essential for orchestral overdubs and film scoring sessions. Hand-crafted by master artisans using time-honored techniques, this cymbal pairs traditional high-density hammering with modern construction to produce the benchmark sound by which orchestral hand cymbals are measured in professional recording.

Tone & Acoustic Character for Recording

Built from B20 bronze with a dark timbre, this cymbal produces more articulate and focused sound with longer sustain than lighter models. The general to loud volume range makes it responsive at moderate dynamics while capable of cutting through full orchestral textures in dense multi-track arrangements and live-to-tape sessions.

Construction & Build

Each cymbal undergoes high-density hand hammering combined with modern jumbo-peen dimpling on the underside, a technique that unlocks the centuries-old acoustic properties sought by leading percussionists and recording engineers. Individual craftsmanship and quality control ensure consistent performance across paired instruments, critical for punch and definition in the mix.
