Sabian Artisan Crash 17-Inch

Since serious drummers generally prefer serious cymbals, Sabian hammered the 17-inch Artisan Crash into being as part of a series of dark-sounding cymbals that are especially useful in jazz. Made of B20 bronze, the Artisan Crash sounds dark yet buttery smooth when played softly during those more intimate shows. Channel a little more force and the crash is happy to show its vicious side with the same dark tone, this time backed by biting attack and without ever overpowering the music. Defined by versatility, this Sabian crash also works great as a light, washy ride cymbal or in styles like rock and hip-hop.
