Pros

Glassy, shimmering crashes and deep, articulate rides that you’ll find very hard to better.

Cons

The Artisan rides are the dearest cymbals that Sabian – and probably anyone else – has ever made.

The bottom line

The Vault crashes are exceptionally clean, bright and transparent, and will surely have a broad appeal. The Vault Artisan rides are very special - the 20" Light ride was a wonderful cymbal with a spectacular, tone-rich bell. Finally, the stick response is extremely articulated, standing clear of the deep, searingly broad 'tahhh', which you only ever hear on a very expensive cymbal.
