SABIAN 20 " Artisan Suspended

SABIAN 20" Artisan Suspended Cymbal

The SABIAN 20" Artisan Suspended captures articulate, defined transients on every strike, translating to clear sustain and decay in the mix. Hand-hammered from B20 bronze with a characteristically dark tonality, this cymbal produces a full spectrum of low, mid, and high partials that sit cohesively in dense arrangements without requiring excessive gating or compression at lower dynamic levels. Built for tracking sessions and mixing scenarios where tonal depth and controlled projection matter.

Tone & Response

High-density hand hammering produces the dark, rich Old World sound that defines the Artisan series, with enhanced projection and a robust vintage character. The medium-thin weight enables quick transient capture for crash takes and dynamic swells while maintaining full frequency range across all dynamic levels, supporting both tight punch and sustained resonance in the final mix.

Construction & Design

Manufactured in Canada from SABIAN B20 bronze with meticulous hand-hammering, the unique design maximizes both tonal complexity and cutting power. This 20-inch suspended cymbal balances dark sonority with the presence needed to remain audible in layered drum recordings and ensemble overdubs.
