Drum Cymbal Sabian 20" Stratus Crash

The Stratus series cymbals, made from B20 bronze alloy, combine premium aesthetics with affordability for a wide range of musicians. The main feature is the proprietary Stratus High Impact Hammering, which shapes the distinctive tone: a crisp attack, warm resonance, and musical space that naturally blends into any style of modern music.

The Sabian 20" Stratus Crash is a modern crash cymbal designed for drummers who need an instrument with a wide frequency range and reliable versatility. It has an instant, explosive response: the strike triggers a deep wave of low frequencies with a bright upper attack that does not overload the mix. Thanks to its thin weight, the cymbal opens quickly and fades just as quickly, providing controlled sustain and a clean, harmonically shaped decay. This makes the Stratus Crash an excellent choice for drummers who like to precisely control dynamics, from velvety crashes in verses to aggressive accents in choruses.

The material itself is also worth mentioning – B20 bronze (80% copper, 20% tin), which gives the instrument complex overtones, depth, and musicality characteristic of professional cymbals. Combined with the unique forging of the Stratus series, this creates a sound that is modern, warm, and rich in nuance. The tonality of this cymbal is a combination of a bright, clearly defined moment of impact and a deep, rich timbre that forms after it. It cuts through the mix while maintaining a warm, full-bodied sound that adds character and depth to the music. This combination provides flexibility in playing and allows the Stratus Crash to sound organic in both dense rock arrangements and more atmospheric or electronic styles.
