18" STRATUS DRY CRASH

18" STRATUS DRY CRASH

This 18" Stratus Dry Crash delivers lightning-quick response with a tight, controlled feel that cuts through dense mixes without washy sustain. The extra-thin construction enables rapid articulation while generating a dark, textured attack that functions as a precise, aggressive accent element in modern drum recordings. Built for tracking sessions and live mixing that demand precision and definition over wash.

Tone & Character

The deep hammering creates a textured, trash-accented attack with a dark, low tonal profile that sits perfectly in tight, controlled recording environments. Extremely short sustain ensures clean articulation and allows fast, stacked crashes without muddiness, making this cymbal ideal for capturing dynamic, controlled drum takes with minimal phase issues.

Construction & Response

The extra-thin weight class enables the lightning-quick response this crash is engineered for, while the B20 bronze material and polished raw finish on the lathed bottom deliver the focused tone character. At 1224g, this cymbal balances responsiveness with enough mass to cut through dense arrangements without getting buried in the mix.
