The Sabian 18" SR2 Chinese Cymbal is not just another percussion piece; it's a unique blend of history and craftsmanship. Each cymbal in the SR2 series has lived a life before—having been used, returned, or refurbished from Sabian's inventory swaps and trades. This isn't a compromise on quality; rather, it’s a testament to the durability and resilience of Sabian’s high-caliber craftsmanship. The SR2 cymbals, including this Chinese variant, are made from cast B20 alloy and are reconditioned to meet strict sound quality standards before they receive their distinctive SR2 finish.

These cymbals could have originated from Sabian’s renowned AA, AAX, HH, HHX, or Vault series, adding an air of mystery and prestige to their identity. What sets the SR2 Chinese cymbal apart is its exclusive surface look and logo, ensuring it has a character all its own while remaining affordable for musicians seeking premium sounds without the premium price tag. Ideal for those who appreciate both the aesthetic of a well-played instrument and the sonic richness that only age and experience can bring, the SR2 Chinese cymbal offers a unique addition to any drummer's arsenal.
