Sabian's Description: <<< - >>>
Review: "The 17" crash is the size at which many of the unique characteristics of the line became apparent. It readily built up overtones, and its bell defined that that of the 16" size. In terms of playability, the 17" had the rubbery, "giving" feel that the 16" crash.
Possibly the best selling point I can describe for the 17" (and all of the larger sizes) is volume. With simple stick articulation on the upper surface of the cymbal, a bevy of overtones began to build. As I moved the sticks toward the edge of the cymbal, notable volume soon followed."

Review: "There is a range of five crashes from 16" to 20", all in Brilliant finish, with fine lathing top and bottom. They bear the usual Sabian logo, plus the big 'V' for Vault logo. They are quite thin, with slightly enlarged bells for added volume. What generally happens with crashes is that you get a high-pitched initial 'tsshh' that quickly dies and is followed by a deeper after-tone.
With the Vault crashes, it's noticeable that the initial 'tsshh' is bright, smooth and silvery, with a rising pitch, but the after-tone is not as deep as usual. This makes the cymbals very clean and toppy, although luckily there's still plenty of body. The fine pin lathing increases the top end so that, although the cymbals are quite lightweight, they nevertheless have a pitch that's higher than usual.
They are very bright, shimmery and punchy, without being brash. They also have good sustain following the initial fast crash. And being thin, they respond well at low volumes, as well as high. So they are capable of being both sensitive and powerful.
There is good consistency across the range, so whichever size(s) you choose, you shouldn't be disappointed. We loved the 16", which is lightning fast and super clean, almost like a splash cymbal, while the 18" and 19" appealed because they are large without being too deep."
