Sabian's 19" Stratus Dry Crash delivers a dark, controlled attack suited to contemporary drumming. Built on a thin profile that responds quickly, this cymbal cuts through with projection and body beyond its 18" counterpart. Extensive hand–hammering creates the series' hallmark dry character alongside tonal complexity.
The thin gauge construction keeps stick response immediate and articulate, while deep hammer marks establish that signature dryness across a balanced frequency range. Compared to the 18" size, this model offers increased projection and fuller sustain without sacrificing responsiveness. The cymbal works as a primary crash in rock, metal, funk, and contemporary styles where controlled decay and textural definition matter.
