few questions....

[bojangleman]

hey, if someone could help me out here, that would be awesome!. i have Sabian B8Pro's and never switchin to a different brand...but i kinda like the Sabian Vault's. i love the sound, but i like to play hard rock/metal. so, what im tryin to get to is, can they take a beating.. or should i stay away?... thanks

I never tried them, but I'm positively sure that they can.

It going to depend on what you mean by "taking a beating". If you mean hitting straight into the cymbal as hard as you can every time, then no the Vault sereis or any other cymbal won't last.

well, playing rock/metal, not as hard as i can and not everytime..

[furbeedog@gmail.com]

they'll last if you know how to hit them correctly

[teejcombos]

just watch the crashes, if you're gonna crack/damage any of them i reckon it'd happen to the crashes first, they're most commonly the cymbals that are hit the hardest when playing hard rock/metal, and not as frequently hit properly while playing hard rock/metal. well from my discoveries anyways.
the good thing about the hats is they're really bright so you don't really have to give them a beating to get a good response out of them. i haven't tried any of the crashes or the rides though...
