The S Family Medium Thin Crash, Zildjian's latest innovative cymbal is designed for balanced performance. After intensive research, Zildjian crafted this cymbal to produce a modern voice that responds quickly with the lightest touch and works for any genre. With a full, crashing sound and shimmering sustain, this cymbal is versatile and expressive.

Sensitive and Responsive for Expressive Playing

The S Family Medium Thin Crash is incredibly sensitive and responsive, reacting instantly to produce a bright, expressive tone. Even the lightest tap elicits a full, crashing sound from this cymbal. Its responsive nature allows for expressive accents and dynamic play. For musicians looking to explore creative cymbal techniques, the S Family Medium Thin Crash is ideal.

Full Crash Sound with Shimmering Sustain

This crash cymbal delivers a satisfyingly full crash with a beautiful, shimmering sustain. The full crash cuts through the mix while the shimmering sustain provides musicality. The sustain decays gradually, allowing the crash tone to ring through. This combination of crash and sustain gives the S Family Medium Thin Crash a balanced and versatile voice for any style.

Versatile and Stackable

With its balanced tone and medium thin weight, the S Family Medium Thin Crash works for any musical application from rock to jazz to electronic music. It also functions well as a stacker cymbal when paired with other cymbals. By stacking multiple cymbals, drummers can create unique tones not possible from a single cymbal. The S Family Medium Thin Crash's versatile, expressive voice makes it an ideal stacker.

Modern, Innovative Design

Zildjian designed the S Family Medium Thin Crash over two years to produce a modern, innovative cymbal. Through intensive research, Zildjian crafted this cymbal to have a balanced frequency response and bright, expressive tone suitable for any style. The result is a forward-thinking cymbal with a musical voice drummers will love.
