Here’s an interesting fairly DRY PROTOTYPE Sabian that has fantastic definition and control. 
Sounds like a Sabian  reason of the famous Zildjian DEEP RIDE but it’s in a controlled 18” size. 

As you can see this one-off does not have a designation and never did - it ONLY has the Sabian stamp and logo. 

It’s a finely lathed golden Traditional Finish 18” with a fairly low profile bell that gives it terrific control and a dark, low pitch.  

Surprisingly dry for a fully lathed, Traditional Finish 18”. 

Weighing in at healthy 1818 grams this 18” Sabian Prototype plays like a controlled Dark Heavy Ride. It has a very strong attack that cuts quite well and then the wash remains focused and very chime-like. 

Traditional Finish gives it a warmth and light glow.   
Pronounced chime-like attack, very strong bell for a controlled 18”, quick response and very responsive. Lower pitched. 
Focused stick definition with a deep ride quality!  
 
Crash on it for a Dark Rock Crash tone. 
 
Perfect for low to loud volumes depending on what position it plays on your kit. Can make a killer TIMBALE cymbal. Cuts well. Great bell with a quick response. 

No need to spend $150 more for a regular-ass big box store cymbal. Prototypes are a lot more fun to play.
