Description
Sabian 18" Stratus Crash Cymbal
With a full range of frequency and sonic versatility, the Stratus Series is designed for the modern drummer. Crafted from B20 bronze with Sabian's high-impact Stratus hammering, this series balances clear articulation, a warm wash, and a musical spread. At 18", this crash carries more body and a fuller wash than the 16" while keeping the same quick, controlled decay and explosive attack the Stratus crash voicing is known for.

Player Notes
This size sits comfortably between the quicker, tighter 16" and the fuller, more commanding 20" — a good default choice if you want the full Stratus crash character (explosive attack, quick decay, deep tone) without leaning all the way toward either extreme.
