Sabian 17" Stratus Crash Cymbal

The Sabian 17" Stratus Crash Cymbal delivers a quick, controlled response with explosive attack and lower tonal characteristics designed for contemporary drumming. Cast from B20 bronze, this crash features Sabian's high impact hammering technique that creates clear articulation alongside a warm wash and musical spread. The thin weight specification ensures rapid decay, allowing the cymbal to cut through dense mixes without lingering overtones that muddy the sonic space. At 17 inches, this crash sits in the sweet spot between projection and control, offering a deep tone that complements modern production aesthetics. The B20 bronze alloy-a professional-grade bronze composition-provides the frequency range and sonic complexity expected from Sabian's professional series. The medium-loose feel and bright-dark timbre rating indicate a cymbal that responds dynamically across playing styles, from delicate stick work to full-force rimshots, while the thin profile keeps the overall volume manageable for both studio tracking and stage applications.
