Sabian HHX VAULT JACK DEJOHNETTE 3-POINT 21” Ride EARLIER VERSION Controlled 2400 g

These are hard to find outside a google stock photo. Well…THIS ONE you can see and hear! No guessing on what your next cymbal sounds like. And it’s an earlier version with a great weight of exactly 2400 grams.

Terrific light airiness on this one. Being in the HHX family it’s fairly DARK with a light Hand Hammered complexity.

Jack DeJohnette (RIP such a wonderful catalog of music he has given us) has been the inspiration behind many great, innovative cymbals and this 3 - Point Vault 21” Sabian continues the tradition.

This is the earlier VAULT SERIES model from the first few years.
Hand Hammered. One raw, unlathed band around the perimeter for a hint of dryness.

Mini Bell to mellow the overtones and allow the stick attack to breathe.

Great stick attack. Complex. BUT controlled. Sweet and breathy light and airy, smoky tone.  Definitely crashable.

Refined and smooth, especially for Hand Hammered HHX.

Sabian describes this cymbal as:
“Delivering a dark, hand hammered, smoky tone across 3 playing points – lathed inner and outer rings, and a raw, unlathed centre ring – this innovative 3-Point model was designed with the legendary Jack DeJohnette.”

No issues. Terrific shape with a great decade patina behind it mellowing it organically and naturally as versatile and musical as the man who inspired it.
