Sabian Vault Cymbals

Vault, along with the Paragon line, make up Sabian's Creative Series. This series is all about unique sounds and bold designs, which Vault certainly has in spades. The Vault line is named after the area in Sabian responsible for new designers. The engineers who work on Vault cymbals are always after the newest sounds in music.

Currently, the Vault line is made up of Artisan, V, Nerve, and Signature cymbals. Artisan cymbals focus on the craftsmanship of the instrument, relying on traditional designs and high density hand hammering. V models deliver some of the crispest sound made today. With Nerve cymbals, you’ll get a variety of sounds. Signature cymbals are the crown jewel of the Vault line, offering cymbals that have been designed for drummers like Neil Peart, Will Calhoun and Mike Portnoy.

Russ McKinnon has a long history with Vault cymbals, having played for more than twenty years with Kenny G, Joe Cocker, Barry Manilow and Bette Midler. With some practice, you can play with Grammy winners too!

Creativity and innovation are the most important aspects in the creation of a Vault cymbal. Blending the old and the new, vintage and modern, Vault is unpredicatable, bringing all new sounds to the marketplace. Pitch, finish, alloy and sound vary from cymbal design to cymbal design, so it’s important to know the individual build of each piece you try out.

Vault began with the Artisan Ride and the Vault Crash, but there are new cymbals added to the line every year. Cymbals previously in the Signature series have been moved to Vault because the Signature series stands for a whole new sound engineered for musical professionals.
