This cymbal is amazing, but I really shouldn't have bought it when I did. I've only been playing for a year and I bought the 17" Vault to go beside my 16 B8(lol). Theres no comparison since the Vault is one of the loudest cymbals I've ever played and the little B8 is like a mouse. It took me about 3 months to get used to it, but now that I hear all of the glassy and rich tones that this pumps out, I'm hooked. It cuts through every type of music and has real presence. The first time my guitar player heard me play, he pointed to my vault and said, "that things loud!". I'm now planning on getting it's little brother the 16 to complement it. Good work Sabian!!

I recently picked up a 17" and was very pleased with results. The tone of the cymbal is amazing. It is also very durable or its size. I recommend this cymbal for experts and even intermediates.

I just had the pleasure of trying a 16" Vault crash, and this cymbal blew me away. It's very bright and cuts through even the heaviest of songs. I love it's silvery tones. Unfortunately, it's thin, but it's very durable none the less. Buy this cymbal, and you won't regret it. It's worth the money.
