- Original MARK LOVE anointed EARLY Sabian Artisan 22” Medium Ride with a glorious golden patina just starting to build.
- Aging beautifully and remarkably warm and slightly complex but with a beautiful mellowness to it - compliments of that decade-old patina.
-
As many of you may know, this is Sabian’s most celebrated and expensive series. They’ve poured 40 years of knowledge into this Artisan 22” and it shows!
-
And a new one of these costs are $864 - that’s not a typo. But this one here is the Original - forged by The Master, Mark Love. Signed and numbered in gold under the bell. Early too.
-
What immediately stands out about this 22” is that for an Artisan, mellower sounding. Of course being heavily Hand Hammered it’s also complex sounding.
- DRY and COMPLEX with a subtly aged mellowness That’s exactly how this Artisan sounds.
-
At 2911 grams it plays like a Medium and this weight provides a fantastic straight up stick attack that is followed by a semi-broad spread that dissipates fairly quickly, compliments of the decade-old patina. Outfitted with three brass rivets for the lightest, Vintage style shimmer. Very subtle.
- Absolutely incredible solid bell. Cutting. It’s very strong and projects incredibly well.
-
What’s great about this specific 2911 gram Artisan is that it is for a Warm Ride, it has no problem penetrating a mix. And that makes this beauty wonderfully versatile.
- Perfect for any style of music. Definitely collectible. No dents or cracks - typical light wear on the surface//use.
- Fantastic top-of-the-line Sabian Celebrating decades of their craftsmanship and forged by Mark Love.
- A joy to own. A joy to play! It will continue to age gracefully. Early version. No where near $864 for a stock photo guess.
