SABIAN 19" STRATUS CRASH
The 19" STRATUS CRASH delivers quick, controlled response with a distinctive lower tone and explosive attack that cuts through live mix contexts. Its thin weight construction produces a fast decay paired with deep fundamental tone, making it responsive to light articulation and full dynamic expression. Built for drummers seeking clarity and musicality in a versatile crash voice that performs reliably night after night.
Construction & Materials
Cast from B20 bronze and finished with STRATUS high impact hammering, this crash combines thinner weight with an extra-heavy hammering pattern to achieve its characteristic quick response and controlled sustain. The deliberate hammering work imparts warmth and musical spread while maintaining the crisp articulation required in contemporary drum voicing. Stage-tested durability meets responsive, playable character.
