SABIAN 20" Artisan Traditional Symphonic Medium Light

SABIAN 20" Artisan Traditional Symphonic Medium Light

The SABIAN 20" Artisan Traditional Symphonic Medium Light (Model A2056) captures immediate clarity and layers a rich, warm tone across dynamic recording and overdubbing sessions. These hand cymbals excel at delivering splashy articulation with controlled sustain, making them exceptionally responsive for multi-take percussion tracking and studio sessions where punch and definition matter. Their moderate weight positions them ideally for successive crash hits and sustained playing without hand fatigue during long recording sessions.

Tone & Sonic Character

Built on century-old orchestral cymbal designs refined by leading percussionists, these cymbals produce a musically complex, warm character with splashy sensitivity and short sustain. The combination of high-density hand hammering and modern jumbo-peen dimpling creates a sound signature that sits cleanly in dense orchestral arrangements and cuts through on isolated percussion takes without overwhelming the mix.

Construction & Craftsmanship

Each pair is individually hand hammered and crafted by master SABIAN artisans using traditional techniques that define the Artisan legacy. The B20 Bronze material paired with high-density hand hammering and modern jumbo-peen dimpling on the underside produces a design equally suited to any orchestral repertoire.
