- Damn!! Sabian one-upped Zildjian! This Artisan Light Ride 22” is $800 new. And this one is the harder to find BRILLIANT FINISH.
- That’s not a typo! $800. Even more expensive than a K Constantinople! But you need not pay that! And you don’t have to guess at a stock photo.
- And this glorious beauty was hand-forged by The Master himself: MARK LOVE! Signed under the bell!
- Behold! Terrific looking and sounding FLAGSHIP Hand Hammered Sabian Brilliant Finish ARTISAN LIGHT RIDE in the generous 22” size and with the ARTISAN BAG.
- MARK LOVE’s Signature and the # are under the bell. This is Sabian’s finest and most expensive cymbal! Absolutely gorgeous. Hand crafted.
- Weighing in at a lovely 2493 grams this 22" plays (not surprisingly) like a stunning, shimmering airy Light Ride - with the darker glimmer of a Brilliant Finish. The tone is fairly dark, warm, organic and wonderfully complex. Overtones are swimming about all over the place- beautiful broad spread!
- The bell is integrated. When you play right under the bell, you get a great slightly-dry stick definition. As you migrate down to the plain of the cymbal, it opens up and the complex wash blends nicely with the definition. At the edge you get an ocean of overtones.
- And at 2493 grams this 22" is definitely CRASHABLE. But it does still have enough tension and weight for a great stick attack for a Light.
- You could use it all day as a HUGE Dark Medium Thin Crash.
- Sabian describes this 22” Light as:
“The high density Hand Hammering of the Artisan Rides creates a line with true character. The tone is dark and the stick sound crisp. This ride is rich with traditional tone. Deep, Dark, and Rich. Crafted from pure Sabian B20 Bronze, and hand produced by only our most skilled craftsman, Artisan and Artisan Elite Cymbals represent the apex of creativity in the cymbal world. Unique dark accents highlight the crisp sizzle to create an abundantly full texture that is unparalleled.”
- This is Sabian's FLAGSHIP cymbal, and it shows.
- One of the most beautiful cymbals you will come across and forged by one of the best cymbalsmiths out there - he’s been doing it for decades - and it’s great to get one now!
- No issues. Super clean. In the bag. And not $800 for a guess at what it sounds like!
