SABIAN 18" Stratus Crash Cymbal

In a recent review, a customer expressed disappointment in only receiving one cymbal instead of a pair as expected due to a misleading description. However, they mentioned that the sound quality of the Sabian Stratus Crash Cymbal they received was powerful and bright. They noted that the cymbal felt a bit thin but mentioned that time would determine its durability, particularly for heavy-handed players. Despite the initial confusion, the customer found the price point to be excellent for a cymbal made with an 80/20 alloy. Another customer highlighted the well-protected packaging of the product and praised the cymbal for its stable sound with a rapid wash and strong attack. They appreciated its lightweight nature, which required minimal force to produce a good sound, making it enjoyable for jazz and acoustic styles. However, they mentioned that it lacked a significant bell sound and the ride typical of heavier crashes, limiting its versatility as a primary crash cymbal. Despite this, the customer found the cymbal to be well-made with a slightly simpler design compared to other Sabian lines like AA and HH, offering a good value for the price. Overall, the Sabian Stratus Crash Cymbal impresses with its powerful and bright sound, making it suitable for various music styles like jazz and acoustic. Its lightweight nature and stable sound quality are highlighted, although some users may find its lack of versatility as a primary crash to be a drawback. **
