Zodiac Cymbals 18" Crash Scorpio

SCORPIO 18" Crash is built for drummers who demand power, intensity, and nuanced control. Its larger size delivers a forceful, immediate attack that blooms into a dark, complex wash with extended sustain. Despite its aggressive character, the cymbal retains musical subtlety, allowing expressive dynamics in softer passages while cutting through the densest mixes with clarity. Perfect for rock, metal, and progressive players, yet versatile enough to add depth in jazz and fusion, this crash balances raw energy with refined craftsmanship.

• Material: Hand‑hammered B20 bronze alloy (80% copper, 20% tin), offering warmth, projection, and durability.
• Craftsmanship: Traditional hand‑hammering and lathing, featuring a dark patina on the bell and centre, contrasted by a polished, hammered outer rim for striking stage presence.
• Sound Profile: Dark, aggressive crash with a focused attack and a grainy, layered wash that expands with the larger diameter, delivering medium‑long sustain.
• Applications: Ideal for live performance, studio recording, and rehearsal, designed for intermediate to professional drummers seeking both power and nuance.
• Versatility: Cuts through heavy arrangements with clarity, while offering dynamic range for softer playing styles.
• Finish: Scorpio signature finish — polished rim with traditional hammering, paired with a lathed and patinaed centre for a bold, cult‑like aesthetic.

SCORPIO 18" Crash is the larger, more commanding sibling to the 16", emphasizing its SCORPIO SERIES  signature raw power and stage presence.
