Discontinued Sabian VAULT HH CROSSOVER 21” Ride Crash IMMACULATE Shape! 2186 g DRY Still Crashable

Here’s a beautiful Sabian Vault HH you can no longer get! And that’s a shame because it a a fantastic DRY and DARK 21” that’s CRASHABLE. This is one of the finest I’ve heard in this series. It does what they promised.

The stick attack on this one is beautiful. It’s dry but also well balanced.

Sabian described this beautiful Vault Hand Hammered as:
“Versatility without compromise. Semi-dark, musical tone with ride and crash capability and total stick articulation at all times.”

Yeah!! Screw compromise man!!!

There are several unique features about this Sabian. As you can see, this cymbal has a RAW top that is barely lathed, and has the ballpeen hammering—like a Hot Ride. The underside of this cymbal however, is FULLY lathed, except for the bell.

I’m quaking with euphoria!! I no longer have to compromise! That is just dawning on me!

Weighing in at a lovely 2186 grams, this 21” plays like an earthy, Thin fairly DRY Ride with a hint of complexity.  The tone is organic, fairly dark, and fairly DRY.

However, the initial stick attack has a nice, subtle spread. The 2186 weight gives this 21” some nice projection without clanking. The raw, slightly lathed top yields a prominent attack with controlled overtones—like a Jojo Mayer or Ralph Peterson Ride, however the unlathed bottom enables the wash to breathe and billow out, but it STILL remains controlled. This is an exceptionally well-balanced dark Sabian Ride. Very good definition with a dark, organic wash.

BUT WAIT, THERE’S MORE...

If you act now….

Yes, you CAN actually CRASH on this 21”. When shouldered, this Crossover acts as a BIG Thin DARK Crash. And the bell is SOLID.

So of course….its no longer made!

But never fear! This one is gorgeous and in beautiful shape.  You need not roam the earth wailing.

No issues. PERFECT condition. A fantastic harder to find Sabian that’s wonderfully versatile.
