Sabian: 1 of 100

Sabian just unearthed the artisan rides they buried 8 months ago and here is a comparison video they made between a ride from the vault and one that was buried. I personally prefer Ks to both sounds but thats just me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AS3izRsM7eY

thanks for showing that, i saw the video earlier this week when they dug them all up, i like the sound they make, but i like the original sound too, i guess i'll just have to buy both. haha. yeah right!!

for 600 bucks i don't think the buried ones are worth it

Wow, that's pretty cool, thanks for the video.


I'd love to be able to buy my cymbals directly from the vault... look at that selection.

ouch, nevermind... i already have my next cymbal purchase picked out anyway..

20" Paiste Twenty China... it'll be a while before i get it though....

The thing is, they don't have a controlled variable. I mean, if they buried the Light Ride, buyers could compare them to the originals, but with them being a new Artisan Ride they have nothing to compare. Meaning, who knows what the burial has done, probably no body but Sabian, which is just stupid.

Its an easy DIY project. All you need is a shovel and 8+ months.

they do have control though, its not a sold one but they made some 21s at the same time as the others and just stuck them in the vault for 8 months

yeah, i'm kind of tempted to bury my old paiste 502 ride... i won't but i'm tempted, haha.

its proabably already aged as it is though

well i mean i say old, it's not that old, maybe 5 or 6 years old, but not like elderly, just old as in unused.

Yea. Put it in the ground for 3 years. Do it. I bet the results happen exponentially.

haha, i'll forget about it...

o i see

Then make your phone remind you once a month

meh, maybe i'll just by a big pot, put the cymbal in the pot, and put soil in the pot, leave that out on my porch and then i wouldn't forget it, but man, that would have to be a big pot....

then I might drop by and take the pot off your porch

for a sheet cymbal???

Exactly, I did say only Sabian will know. Of course they will have a controlled variable, but why do you think it'll probably take a good part of a year before you'll even see a normal one on the market?

yeah, but in the ground would receive so much more of the natural processes. Something that may not occur so much in a pot.

You will be limited to a 6" splash at the biggest...

Man, will that splash sound different after 6 months in the pot.

no kidding, i have a cheapo camber 7" stage bell or whatever you want to call it, i'm kind of tempted to try it now.... i bet it would make the sound of the stage bell tolerable!!
