The Sabian Hand Hammered Vintage Ride Cymbal is big on volume and fat with tone. The Vintage Ride has a wide-open and crash ride sound that is today's hippest from the past. Sabian Brilliant finish ride cymbals are highly buffed and preserved under a clear protective lacquer coating. Hand Hammered series cymbals speak with a musical darkness steeped in nearly 400 years of cymbal making history. Sabian artisans craft with a secret process that turns bronze into soulful cymbals, rich with dark, traditional tone. Each individual Sabian Hand Hammered cymbal sounds artistically unique.
