SABIAN 18" STRATUS ZERO

SABIAN 18" STRATUS ZERO Crash Cymbal

The SABIAN 18" STRATUS ZERO delivers an explosive, trashy attack with fast decay that cuts through the mix in live situations. This effect cymbal combines O-Zone and Aero perforation to balance darkness with added high-end articulation, making it equally effective as a standalone crash or layered in a stack for maximum impact on stage.

Tone & Sonic Character

Built from B-20 Bronze with high impact hammering, this cymbal produces a fast decay paired with a deep, musical tone that projects well in a live mix. The dual perforation design—blending O-Zone darkness with Aero brightness—generates a cutting, trashy character that remains warm and versatile across dynamic playing from controlled dynamics to full-force hits.

Build & Playability

Sized at 18 inches with medium-light weight, the STRATUS ZERO responds cleanly to both controlled strikes and aggressive hits, making it reliable for touring drummers and session players. The traditional finish and high impact hammered construction provide the cymbal with consistent articulation and a balanced response across its surface, ensuring predictable performance night after night.
