New Carmine Appice Signature Chinese And Ride
Models
 January 28, 1999SABIAN
has introduced totally new 17" and 19" Carmine Appice Signature Chinese
models and a 21" Signature Ride, as the Canadian cymbal company and the
legendary rock drummer team up once again to create cymbals - this time in highly
durable, Brilliant Finish bronze - that deliver the bright, muscular sounds
required for today's high-volume music.
The rapid-response surface and high-definition bell of the medium-weight Carmine
Appice Signature Ride add up to a potent performer at any volume. Without being
overly metallic, it combines tone and cut in a finely focused field of projection
that remains crisp and clear at all volumes. The odd-size Chinese models, with
their high-profile bow and deep-V flange, bite with incredibly hot and raw trashiness
while delivering with a greater degree of projection and durability than Carmine's
original Chinese models. "They're a combination of Hand Hammered tone and
PRO series cut," noted Carmine.
Added SABIAN Cymbal Tester Robert Mason: "Carmine is a big fan of Hand
Hammered and PRO, so these cymbals deliver the dominant qualities of both. The
mix works so well at projecting and penetrating with a tasty touch of tone that
players into all styles, from Rock and Funk to Country and the Blues will find
Carmine's cymbals interesting and effective new options."
Available in Brilliant Finish only, Carmine Appice Signature models are precision-crafted
and Hand Hammered from pure SABIAN B8 bronze. They are protected against faults
arising from production and material by SABIAN's One-Year Warranty Protection
Program. For more information, visit Sabian at http://www.sabian.com/ |
