Sabian 17" HH Medium-Thin Crash Brilliant Finish

Sabian 17" HH Medium-Thin Crash Brilliant Finish

This 17" HH Medium-Thin Crash delivers explosive attack with controlled sustain, striking a balance between cutting projection and musical tone. The Brilliant finish enhances clarity while the medium-thin weight keeps the cymbal responsive and articulate, making it equally at home cutting through a live mix or capturing nuance in the studio. Hand-hammered construction produces the unmistakable warmth that only traditional cymbal craftsmanship can deliver.

Tone & Sonic Character

The HH Remastered design adds complexity and harmonic texture across the cymbal's voice, resulting in a darker, more musical tone than previous iterations. The explosive response with moderate sustain makes this crash effective as a punctuation tool without excessive wash, ideal for funk, jazz, and rock applications where definition matters.

Construction & Materials

Built from B20 bronze with intensive hand-hammering—between 2,000 and 4,000 hammer blows applied by Sabian's artisans—this cymbal exhibits the tonal complexity that comes from traditional, labor-intensive shaping. The Brilliant finish coating protects the metal while enhancing visual appeal and brightness.
