Product Description
The Sabian 18" Stratus Dry Crash is an ultra-fast, extra-thin crash designed for modern, tight and controlled setups. With a dark, low-pitched voice and a trash-accented attack, it delivers lightning-quick accents that speak clearly then get out of the way, keeping your grooves clean and your mix uncluttered.
Deep hammering across the surface gives this cymbal its distinctive dry character, adding texture and complexity without excessive wash. The extremely short sustain makes it ideal for players who want precise punctuation at any volume, from subtle studio work to punchy live sets.
Modern Dry Character
The Stratus Dry Crash is voiced for contemporary playing styles, with a dark, low tonal profile that blends beautifully with modern drum sounds. Instead of overpowering the kit, it adds a sophisticated, earthy shimmer that sits comfortably in the mix, perfect for genres where clarity and space are essential.
Ultra-Fast, Extra-Thin Response
Crafted in an extra-thin weight, this 18" crash responds at the lightest touch. You get instant, explosive attack without having to dig in, making it ideal for quick accents, fast fills and detailed dynamic work. The cymbal opens up immediately, then shuts down just as quickly for maximum control.
Extremely Short Sustain
The defining feature of the Stratus Dry Crash is its tight, controlled decay. Notes do not linger, so your accents remain crisp and defined, even in dense arrangements. This makes it an excellent choice for drummers who need precision and articulation, whether in studio environments or complex live mixes.
Trash-Accented Attack
Deep hammering across the cymbal surface introduces a touch of trashiness to the attack, adding character and bite without becoming harsh. This textured response gives your accents a unique voice that cuts through just enough, ideal for modern dry setups where you want personality as well as control.
Features
- Modern Dry, Dark Tonality - Voiced with a dark, low tonal profile, the Stratus Dry Crash delivers a sophisticated, modern sound that blends easily with contemporary drum and production styles, helping your kit sit perfectly in the overall mix.

- Extremely Short Sustain - Designed for tight control, the sustain is very brief, so each crash is sharp and defined without excess wash, keeping your grooves clean and leaving space for other instruments.
- Deep Hammering with Trash-Accented Attack - Heavy hammering creates a textured, slightly trashy attack that adds character and bite, giving your accents a distinctive edge that works brilliantly in modern dry cymbal setups.
