Sabian 18" HH Medium-Thin Crash Brilliant Finish

The Sabian 18" HH Medium-Thin Crash delivers explosive articulation with a responsive feel that cuts through a mix without overwhelming it. This vintage-style crash excels in rock and fusion settings where you need definition and clarity from your crash cymbal, offering a dark tone character that sits naturally in both recorded and live applications.

Tone & Response

Built from B20 bronze alloy, this crash produces a dark sound profile with explosive response and moderate sustain that prevents wash-out during fast cymbal work. The medium-thin weight category contributes to faster response times and easier stick articulation, making it ideal for drummers who favor controlled dynamics over maximum volume.

Construction & Finish

The brilliant finish provides both aesthetic appeal and a smooth playing surface, while the 18" diameter positions this crash in the sweet spot for versatility across multiple musical contexts. HH series cymbals are known for their vintage voicing, bringing character and musicality that modern bright cymbals often lack.
