Historical Context and Positioning in the Range

The Artisan series embodies the spirit of traditional Turkish-inspired cymbals, sought after for their musicality and sonic patina. Designed as the pinnacle of traditional cymbals, it targets drummers who want to recapture that vintage grain: a lively, complex cymbal with harmonics that develop organically and an immediately "vintage" sound.

Its positioning is clearly high-end: the manufacturing emphasizes manual work and an artisanal approach to hammering to achieve a marked sonic personality and a feel under the stick reminiscent of old cymbals.

Who This Drum/Instrument Is For

The Artisan cymbal is primarily aimed at intermediate to expert drummers who know how to exploit playing nuances (dynamics, attack angles, stick placement) and who seek an expressive cymbal rather than a "standardized" sound. It will also suit studio musicians looking for an immediately identifiable color.

In terms of styles, its rich, dark, and vintage character makes it particularly comfortable in jazz, blues, soul, funk, classic rock, organic pop, indie, and acoustic music. Thanks to its announced power level and volume enhanced by the XXL hammer marks, it can also fit into denser contexts, provided a warm and textured sound is preferred.

Is this 18" crash suitable for jazz and classic rock?

Its rich, dark timbre is particularly suited to jazz, blues, soul, funk, and classic rock. The announced power, supported by XXL strikes, also allows use in denser band settings.

What thickness and finish does this cymbal have?
