Product Description
The Sabian 20" Stratus Dry Crash delivers big, dramatic accents with a tight, controlled decay, making it perfect for modern players who want power without wash. Its larger diameter gives you a fuller, more expansive crash sound, while the dry, dark tonality keeps every hit focused and musical, even in the busiest mixes.
Part of Sabian’s Stratus series, this crash combines deep hammering with a polished raw surface to create a complex, textured voice that still speaks with clarity. It opens up quickly, hits hard, and then gets out of the way, so your grooves stay clean and articulate. Whether you are playing contemporary worship, fusion, pop or progressive rock, the 20" Stratus Dry Crash offers a sophisticated, modern crash sound that feels at home on any professional kit.
Modern Dry, Dark Character
The 20" Stratus Dry Crash is voiced with a distinctly modern dry character and a dark tonal profile. This gives you a crash sound that is rich and moody rather than bright and brash, ideal if you want your cymbals to add depth and colour without dominating the band. The dryness keeps the sound tight and articulate, so every accent lands with intent.
Big, Powerful Accents
With its larger 20" size, this crash delivers serious impact for big musical moments. The increased surface area produces a broader, more powerful spread that fills the room when you dig in. It is perfect for chorus lifts, dramatic transitions and any time you need your crash to feel larger than life while still staying controlled.
Controlled Decay and Short Sustain
Despite its size, the Stratus Dry Crash is designed with a short sustain and controlled decay. It blooms quickly then drops away, so your accents are punchy and precise rather than lingering and washy. This makes it an excellent choice for tight arrangements, fast tempos and players who need their cymbals to support the groove rather than blur it.
Deep Hammering and Polished Raw Surface
Deep hammering and a polished raw surface give this cymbal its textured, complex voice. The hammering shapes the response and darkens the tone, while the raw finish helps maintain dryness and focus. The result is a crash that feels alive under the stick, with plenty of character and nuance, yet remains controlled enough to sit perfectly in dense mixes.
Features
- Modern Dry Crash with Dark Tone - Voiced for a contemporary dry sound with a darker tonal palette, this crash adds mood and sophistication to your kit, ideal for players who prefer a more refined, less brash cymbal character.
- Larger 20" Size for Big Accents - The 20" diameter delivers a fuller spread and more powerful impact, giving you commanding accents that can lift choruses and punch through live and studio mixes.
- Short Sustain with Controlled Decay - Designed to open up quickly then get out of the way, the controlled decay keeps your playing tight and articulate, perfect for busy arrangements and precise, groove-focused drumming.
- Deep Hammering with Polished Raw Surface - Extensive hammering and the polished raw finish create a textured, musical crash that stays focused, helping your accents cut through dense mixes without becoming overly washy or harsh.
