Sabian 16" HH Medium-Thin Crash

This cymbal excels in funk, jazz, and rock across both studio and live settings. The medium-thin weight and articulate response make it ideal for faster-paced playing and intricate cymbal work, while the dark, complex tone suits styles that value musicality over raw aggression. It is not recommended for metal or thrash metal applications.

At 16 inches, this crash offers a sweet spot between cut and projection—smaller and faster-responding than an 18-inch, but with more body and sustain than a 14-inch. The 1025-gram weight keeps it responsive for quick articulation while maintaining enough mass to project clearly on stage or in a recording.

The HH Remastered series uses enhanced traditional hand-hammering techniques that add structural complexity and harmonic depth to the cymbal, resulting in a darker, more articulate tone compared to standard cast or machine-hammered cymbals. This craftsmanship is what delivers the warm, sophisticated character typical of professional-grade hand-hammered cymbals.

The cymbal is cast from B20 bronze alloy (80 percent copper, 20 percent tin) and shaped through traditional hand-hammering, producing the dark, explosive tone with complex harmonic content. This proven material and method combination is the foundation of Sabian's tonal reputation.

This cymbal is backed by Sabian's two-year warranty, giving you peace of mind on a professional-grade instrument. Always check with your retailer for specific warranty registration and claim procedures.
