Join us June 9, 2007 as the Sabian Vault Tour Truck is coming to Axe Calgary with generators, cymbal hammering equipment, staff and rack loads of prototypes from Sabian’s vault (hence the name). You can talk with the Sabian staff, try out and purchase Sabian prototypes and try hammering cymbals.

These cymbals represent Sabian’s research and development over the past few years. Every time Sabian creates a new model cymbal, various versions are made to try and hone down the sounds to get closer to a finished product. When an artist can hear a sound in their heads, there can be quite a few prototypes. All these prototypes are logged and stored in the vault along with notes about their manufacture, hammering and lathing so each cymbal can be recreated in the future if needed. Now, what one person might hear as a not-quite-what-they-wanted super heavy crash could be another person’s perfect ride (for instance) as the cymbals are not named. These prototypes are the cymbals that Sabian brings with them on the tour, and the ones that the lucky tour visitors can purchase.

 Virtually a once in a lifetime AXEperience!!!
