Sabian 19" Stratus Crash Cymbal

The Sabian 19 Stratus Crash Cymbal is a professional B20 bronze crash designed to meet the demands of contemporary drumming across multiple genres. Part of the Stratus series, it features high impact hammering that shapes both its sonic character and visual appearance. The thin weight delivers quick response and fast decay, making it responsive enough for intricate playing while retaining the power needed for louder passages. Cast from B20 bronze - the 80/20 copper-tin alloy favoured by professional cymbal makers - this 19 crash produces a lower fundamental tone than smaller crashes, with an explosive initial attack followed by controlled decay. The high impact hammering creates clear stick definition and a warm wash that spreads musically without muddying the mix. Its bright-dark timbre balances cut and warmth, while the medium-loose feel offers enough give for expressive dynamics without feeling uncontrolled under heavy playing.
