Some special footage there, no doubt! I love the old fashioned hand hammering - always cool to see! Boy, you sure didn't hold back Shane.....talk about a ton of pies! Speaking of the SR2's - I've often thought that they sound better than any of their other premium lines. Of course as you explained that depends on the particular cymbal though (as they vary). Must have been an exciting trip! Thanks for sharing!
So you know every time someone goes to bitch about how much Superb symbols cost I want to remind them of something. Your art is as Interconnected to the artist that built it as it is to yourself... 20 years and I wouldn't Go anywhere else Sabian🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Shane said at the end of the video Sabian will clean the cymbals up and re-logo them. I would assume that would also include re-edging each cymbal to take care of any knicks that occur on those metal racks. I’ve bought quite a few brand new Sabians this year and I have to say I’ve seen more edge damage than I have with all the brand new Zildjian’s I’ve bought over the past few years. On the flip side I bought an HH Power Bell Ride “used” in a private sale that was at least 6 years old and the edge looked just as clean as I would imagine it would be fresh off the edging machine. So some rough handling is occurring somewhere down the line with a certain percentage of these cymbals. I can understand an edge Knick on a cymbal that was displayed on the floor of a music shop but any cymbal that’s placed in the Sabian bag should be 100% ding free and remain that way when the customer receives that cymbal if it’s sold by the shop as “brand new”.
Cymbals and the making of them is so cool. But those poor hand-hammerers. Is it REALLY necessary to hand hammer besides those simply wanting a traditionally made cymbal as an instrument that is individually unique?
11:19 - HHX Complex Medium Ride prototype :)
08:21 The crash sound coming from background was very lovely. :))
I would've gone straight to the 22" Arena orchestral hand cymbals and used one as a ride - can't find one anywhere other than the pair
Sweet 16! Nice pies! Awesome job Sabian and Shane, Da Man!
Good Video
Haha! The guy at 10:54 is like "nope" xD

i see a rocktagon cymbal yes
The way he is handling all those cymbals, chucking them about gave me so much anxiety. WTF

OMG! Area 51 is what heaven must be like.

Yes. The imperfections of the hammering add character to the cymbals that can't be easily replicated using automatic processes.
