Bosphorus 18" Avanos Crash Cymbal

This 18" Bosphorus Avanos Crash delivers a dry, earthy, and textured crash sound with the organic character that defines the Avanos Series. It has a raw, handcrafted feel that opens with warmth and personality while staying controlled and musical.

At 1390g, this crash offers a strong, responsive attack with a warm shimmer and a smooth, controlled decay. It has enough body to make a statement, but it does not feel overly bright or harsh. The sound is expressive, slightly darker in character, and well suited for players who want a crash with depth, texture, and individuality.

The Bosphorus Avanos Series is especially well suited for drummers looking for a darker, drier cymbal voice with an earthy, handmade feel. This 18" crash works beautifully for jazz, acoustic music, R&B, soul, fusion, worship, studio recording, and any setting where texture, nuance, and musical character matter more than sheer volume.
