It sounded a lot like a heavy crash more than it did a ride cymbal at times in this It’s great that you’re posting vids again too, your gear reviews are my favorite by far 😁 🔥🔥
@@IAMDRUMMER the sound is very smooth and balanced, how the bell melts in with the shoulder and body of the cymbal’s tone is wonderful too great vintage studio cymbal vibe
I must need new headphones (or maybe less earwax) because it sounded more mellow than you're describing, especially the stick sound. It's still very nice, though. I tried a 22" Artisan Elite at Guitar Center and that one was pretty loud, louder than I'd expect a cymbal like that to be. Rather heavy also. I thought the Artisans were supposed to be more buttery, like a throwback type cymbal.
@@IAMDRUMMER I'm glad it's working for you. I love my 21" HHX Complex Medium Ride. I've got a few strips of blue painter's tape underneath to reign it in a bit for practice purposes. Whoever invented blue tape at 3M needs a statue in their honor.
For $500 Buck's it Should Sound Better Than This, These Cymbal Manufactors are Going Nuts On Pricing Them Cymbal's. They Make it Hard for the Every Day Working Drummer's.
Retail here was $1499 (I didn't pay that) but being a limited run what can you expect, I will say the recording can only do so much as it's does sound and feel pretty mint.
Could you compare this to a K Sweet 21 or a K Custom Dark 20? They have a nice decay
I can put the feelers out for them and see if can get my hands on some.
Can you do a comparison between the Sucherman and this?
Not a bad idea, might look in to that or make some 22” hats.
I really wanted to love this, like I love my HH Sessions Ride, but it’s just okay to me.
I love the sessions ride, I hope that Sabian and Todd release a line of cymbals, that man has brilliant ears and taste.
@@IAMDRUMMER: I can see that, albeit made in limited quantities again!
I think so but you never know could become a line....I have my fingers crossed.

A ride cymbal is already a heavy crash tho I guess 🤷♂️
It had more wash than I was expecting
Same here but thgat overall "PING" is very controlled and that wash is almost like an aftertaste.....I love it.

I have been playing it alot and it's a very addictive cymbal.

That’s odd for an Artisan to be so heavy and thick, with this ride and the Sucherman it’s like all bases are covered.

@Dan-hc1ow very nice, have you tired EQ pods or other dampening pads etc. Blue painters tape though leaves no residue if I remember correctly.
@@IAMDRUMMER Yup. Easy on, easy off, no residue.
This one’s on my list!!
They are around, still up for grabs and I don;t think you will be disappointed.
oh thats a beauty. very clean and controled ping
That controlled ping is what makes this ride so good, just need to get it to a gig so I can really use it properly.

$500.00?!? Try $899.99 USD. If you found one new for $500.00, link it… It may entice me to get one, just to have it! 😂
If they are out there for $500 that's an absolute bargain.
