Zodiac Cymbals 16" Crash Scorpio

SCORPIO 16" CRASH Engineered for drummers who demand dark intensity and cutting presence. Scorpio 16" Crash delivers a powerful, aggressive voice with nuanced control. Its attack is immediate and forceful, blooming into a dark, complex wash that remains compact and musical even under heavy strikes. With a medium sustain and layered overtones, it sits perfectly in dense mixes while retaining expressive subtlety for lighter passages. Built for rock, metal, and progressive players, yet versatile enough to add depth in jazz and fusion, this crash balances raw energy with refined craftsmanship.
