Presentation
Developed in the pure tradition of top-of-the-range cymbals, the A1806 Artisan 18" Crash by Sabian combines craftsmanship and musicality. Made from B20 bronze and hammered entirely by hand, each cymbal has a unique character, with a dynamic, organic response.
With a diameter of 18 inches, this crash strikes a balance between projection and subtlety. Its moderate profile generates a soft but defined attack, followed by balanced sustain and rich harmonic evolution. The warm, complex frequencies make it ideal for jazz, fusion and acoustic contexts, where nuance is paramount.
The natural, unpolished finish preserves the natural textures of the metal for an authentic sound. Hand-hammering produces subtle variations between each model, while maintaining overall sonic coherence.
Live or in the studio, this cymbal fits naturally into demanding set-ups, adding depth and expressiveness. It is particularly well suited to set-ups where musicality and sensitivity to touch are essential.
