  • What's next? A cymbal that's been in a room full of chain smokers for a year to simulate the environment of a 1960's Jazz club?

  • Nice sounds!

    However, to me, the experiment doesn't prove anything.

    With the Artisans, each cymbal sounds different anyway, You can't attribute the difference to the burying.(the buried one of the second pair didn't sound drier to my ear.)

    You'd need before-and after soundfiles of the same cymbal to prove the effect - and of a similar one that aged on the shelf for control.

    With a statistically relevant number of units this would tell something.

    Not like this, though - sorry to say.

  • @tommasotemporin no because the cymbals were not completely hammered before they buried them

  • On the left: L;SAKRDJHGSDGKFJSDF

    On the right: L;SAKRDJHGSDGKFJSDF

  • That wasn't meant for anyone specific.

  • It seems to me that this guy is actually in the room with the cymbals, playing them. You are not. You are listening via Youtube. You figure it out.

  • Burying cymbals in the ground? Sabian is the only cymbal company that will stick their products in the ground and foresee good results!!!

  • 800 dollars for that??? HEY! if i want that cymbal i can buy a normal 21" Vault Artisan Ride, bury that in my garden for 8 months and i'll have it! it's the same thing or what??

  • @houseofchintz ziljian already made that lol

  • @houseofchintz haha i would totally do that

  • @dave90mckeague I think the only difference is between the individual cymbals, the soil has no effect on sound.

    Agree that the only way to tell if the burying makes sense sonically would be to take two more similar cymbals, record both of them, let one sit on the shelf and bury the other. Then record them again in identical surroundings and hear if there's any difference between the two, or even just before and after, with any of them. Or, do a live blind test between the 2 aged ones.
