Up for sale is a Sabian 16" crash cymbal, featuring the classic early 1980s block-letter logo from Sabian’s formative years in Meductic, Canada.

Crafted from pro-grade B20 cast bronze, this cymbal delivers a wonderfully warm, organic musicality that modern machine-made cymbals struggle to replicate. They feature a responsive, medium-thin profile that opens up immediately when struck, delivering a rich, complex vintage wash with a quick, satisfying decay.

Key Features & Tone:

  • Early Vintage Era: Stamped with the classic 1980s transition-era logos.
  • Versatile Response: Fast and responsive at lower volumes, yet robust enough to punch through when driven harder.

Condition & Details:

  • Good condition overall considering the vintage age, showing normal signs of use including surface patina, finger marks, and standard cosmetic aging. No keyholing or flea bites.
