Sabian SD2006 Stratus 20" Dry Crash

Broad Dry Crash Impact With Dark Tone and Controlled Decay

The Sabian SD2006 Stratus Dry 20" Crash is a B20 bronze cymbal designed for drummers who want a larger crash sound without excessive wash. Its thin construction allows the cymbal to open quickly, while the 20" diameter creates a fuller spread and more substantial accent than smaller crashes in the Stratus Dry range.

Deep hammering and a polished raw surface give the crash a textured, musical response with dark tonal colour. The short sustain keeps each accent focused, allowing the cymbal to cut through dense mixes without lingering over the rest of the kit. Compared with brighter, longer-sustaining crashes, the Stratus Dry 20" Crash prioritises controlled decay, low-profile texture and clear separation.

The medium-loose feel helps the cymbal respond naturally under the stick, while the soft to general volume range keeps it adaptable across rehearsals, live performance and studio work. Its broader spread makes it useful as a powerful main crash while retaining the dry character needed for modern setups.

At Riffs & Licks Music, we think the Stratus Dry 20" Crash suits drummers who want a larger dark crash with textured attack, strong presence and enough control to stay clear in busy arrangements.
