Sabian A1606B Artisan 16" Crash Cymbal Brilliant Finish

Warm, Complex Crash with Fast Response and Brilliant Shine

The Sabian Artisan 16 inch Crash in Brilliant Finish offers a refined, expressive crash voice with deeper warmth and musical texture. High density hand hammering and a raw bell design bring out rich overtones, while the remastered B20 alloy formula enhances sustain and tonal depth. The brilliant finish adds slightly more shimmer and brightness to the dark underlying character, giving the cymbal extra presence without sacrificing warmth. It responds quickly under the stick, opening with a controlled burst that blossoms into a smooth, complex wash. This makes it suitable for expressive accent work across acoustic, jazz, hip-hop and modern studio styles.

At Riffs & Licks Music, we think this crash is ideal for drummers wanting warmth, nuance and a musical crash voice with extra visual and tonal shine.
