Sabian 22" Hammertone Chinese Cymbal, Medium

The 22" Crescent Hammertone Chinese Cymbal, designed in collaboration with esteemed Jazz artist Jeff Hamilton, is a masterfully crafted musical instrument that stands out in the realm of percussion. Known for his discerning ear and musical prowess, Hamilton's influence has resulted in a cymbal that offers a warm spread and controlled attack, making it a perfect addition to any musician's kit.

Unlike standard cymbals, the Hammertone Chinese is not entirely clean lathed, allowing a touch of "bark" to remain on the surface. This unique feature contributes to its complex and rich sound, setting it apart from the crowd. The bell of this radiant, golden cymbal is meticulously lined, and its lip is flatter than that of a typical Chinese cymbal, making it heavier and more robust.

This Sabian cymbal functions more like a China Ride than an effects China, offering a plethora of overtones that provide a delectable level of trash. This glossy, shiny cymbal is the result of painstaking care taken at every step of the manufacturing process. Hamilton himself visited the SABIAN factory multiple times to work closely with the Vault craftsmen, ensuring the creation of a flawless line of cymbals that deliver uncompromising tone.

Whether you're a professional musician or an enthusiastic amateur, the 22" Crescent Hammertone Chinese Cymbal offers a bright, full-bodied sound that is sure to enhance your musical performance.
