Frequently Asked Questions
The AAX series is generally brighter and more cutting, while the Artisan Thin focuses on warmth and complexity, offering a more vintage-inspired tone.
While thinner than some crashes, Sabian’s Artisan series is built to a high standard, but careful playing and proper mounting are still essential to prevent damage.
Softer to medium-hard felt or nylon tips are ideal to preserve the cymbal's warmth and prevent harshness.
