Bosphorus crash cymbal with thin, flexible response
If you are looking for a crash cymbal with a clear vintage approach, the Bosphorus Master Series Crash Thin 18 inch stands out right away. This Bosphorus cymbal is much thinner than many heavier cymbals made today, so you can actually see it move when you strike the edge.
That thin construction gives the cymbal a soft feel and a played-in character. This makes the 18 inch crash suitable for almost any musical situation, from subtle playing to a more open attack.
Fully handmade with a traditional process
Like all Bosphorus cymbals, this Master Series model is made entirely by hand, from the casting process to the final hammer stroke. No part of the production is done by machine, which fits the artisanal character of this series.
The alloy is based on an antique formula passed down through generations of cymbal smiths. That reinforces the vintage character of the Bosphorus Master Series Crash Thin 18 inch and makes this crash cymbal appealing to drummers who prefer a traditionally made cymbal.
