Aristan Elites - they're $780 at Big Box stores. That even one ups K Constantinoples. By a lot!  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e$780!!  Damn! And I’m not even sure Sabian makes these anymore! I don’t think Sabian even makes these anymore.  I don’t see them on the site. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFortunately you need not shell out such mad loot for a stock photo guess  and you don't have to sacrifice tone either. I can't be mad at Sabian for the $780 asking price. These are some of the most beautifully crafted cymbals they have ever produced. Signed and numbered under the bell of the cymbal smith who made them.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAnd this particular pair has a very sweet complexity to them. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Artisan Elite Series is a little bit darker and drier than the straight up Artisans. They have more of a partial lathe vibe with very heavy Hand Hammerings. And the Top Cymbal is generally thinner too. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWeighing in at only 821 and 1228 grams, this particular pair of 14s\" plays like thin, dark, semi-dry complex hihats. The 1228 gram bottom ensures a solid chick tone when played with your foot. But the thin 821 top keeps them extremely responsive with a hint of smokiness.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFocused and controlled without sounding dead or clanky.
