Sabian - A1955 Artisan Traditional Symphonic Medium Heavy 19"

The Sabian A1955 orchestral cymbals are part of the Artisan series, renowned for its traditional construction and dark character. Its heavy medium weight provides greater articulation and precision, giving greater control in strong attacks.

The all-hand hammering creates a deep, lively timbre, with rich harmonics that blend naturally. The B20 alloy also contributes to the warm, dark colour typical of top-of-the-range cymbals. Thanks to their 19" diameter, they have a good balance between power, presence and flexibility. The resonance is longer than on a lighter pair, which helps to sustain the sound in large ensembles.

Their natural finish brings out the artisanal aspect of the metal without changing the way they vibrate. They are equally suited to general passages or more intense moments, as they always remain clear in the mix. You can use them to carry an orchestral phrase or reinforce a dynamic without losing finesse.
