This 18" Bosphorus Master Vintage Crash combines the warmth and sensitivity of the Master family with a darker, drier, more vintage-inspired character. It has a textured, expressive voice that opens easily without becoming overly bright or aggressive, making it a great option for players who want complexity and warmth from their crash cymbal.

At 1256g, this crash responds quickly with a defined attack, earthy shimmer, and smooth, controlled decay. It has enough body to make musical accents feel substantial while still staying refined and easy to blend with the rest of the kit. The result is a crash that feels responsive, nuanced, and full of character.

The Bosphorus Master Vintage Series is especially well suited for drummers looking for a darker, more complex cymbal sound with a vintage-inspired feel and touch-sensitive response. This 18" crash works beautifully for jazz, acoustic music, R&B, soul, worship, studio recording, and any setting where warmth, texture, and musical expression matter more than sheer volume.
