The Zildjian 18" S Series Medium Thin Crash brings together a wide swath of features like the machine precision hammering and lathing found in the B8 series with a newly conceived B12 alloy fashioned in the sheet manufacturing process for higher quality sound at a more attainable price. Developed over two years in the Zildjian Sound Lab, the higher tin presence in this series provides a stick feel and response reminiscent of the A or A Custom family while retaining a sticker price that all drummers can get behind.
