SABIAN 19" STRATUS CRASH

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.

Sonic Character

This cymbal excels at cutting articulation with an explosive attack and quick decay, allowing clean note definition without excessive wash. The deep, lower-register tone integrates smoothly into ensemble settings while delivering additional high-end shimmer for presence and clarity across dynamic ranges. Works equally well cutting through a loud rock mix or sitting naturally in acoustic ensemble contexts.
