Sabian's Description: <<< - >>>
Review: "The 16" Vault crash is the least complex of all the sizes. Its overtones are pretty standard, and its bell was satisfactory. As Sabian claims, its attack was indeed fast, and its sustain was notable. Otherwise it didn't have any particularly unique characteristics. However, this could actually make the 16" the most versatile of all the Vault crashes, since an absence of very specific sonic charateristics would make it a good "all-around" crash suitable for many different applications.
As compared to a traditional, general-purpose 16" crash, the fundamental pitch of the 16" Vault crash was a little lower, and stick definition was more articulated and defined. A standard thin crash would also be more likely to have a little "give" under contact stick attack. The 16" Vault crash was a little more rigid."
