SABIAN 19" Artisan Traditional Symphonic Medium Light

SABIAN 19" Artisan Traditional Symphonic Medium Light

The SABIAN 19" Artisan Medium Light cymbals capture articulate, controlled crashes that sit cleanly in dense mixes without smearing detail. Their lighter weight and splashier character respond immediately to subtle dynamic variations, making them invaluable for layering orchestral overdubs and maintaining definition across multiple percussion tracks. The 19" size delivers impact at moderate to loud volumes while preserving the clarity needed when stacking multiple cymbal recordings in the DAW.

Tone & Recording Character

Built from premium B20 bronze, these cymbals deliver the warm, nuanced voice essential for orchestral sessions. The shorter sustain compared to Medium Heavy variants prevents cymbal wash from obscuring other instrumental detail in the mix, while the splashier quality provides transient attack and articulation—critical when recording complex orchestral arrangements where frequency separation matters in post-production.

Construction & Craftsmanship

Each pair combines traditional high-density hand hammering with modern jumbo-peen dimpling on the underside, a technique that balances century-old resonance characteristics with refined responsiveness in the recording chain. Individually crafted by master SABIAN artisans, these cymbals represent the evolution of original orchestral models refined specifically for session versatility and layered percussion tracking.
