Sysi crash

When you want crash cymbals that whisper power rather than scream it, the Sihi Sysi Crash delivers. These cymbals offer a fairly dark sound with a warm, inviting feel — not overly bright, but rich in depth. Despite their darker profile, Sysi crashes open readily and offer a satisfying crash without needing to be hit too hard.

Available in sizes from 14″ up to 22″, these crashes are medium‑thin in weight: for example, the 16″ version weighs approximately 1000 grams, the 18″ about 1350 grams. The balance allows for both subtle play and expressive swells without sacrificing control. The finish is available in Raw or Traditional — raw for drier attack and more earthy tones, traditional for moderate overtones and smoother transitions.

The sound sits in the mid‑low to low‑pitch range, with medium sustain and medium‑low to medium volume. It’s perfect for genres or settings that benefit from warm ambiance and controlled decay — think jazz, blues, folk, ambient, or lower-gain rock. Sysi crashes perform beautifully whether mic’d up in a studio or used to shape the lower end of a live set without overpowering.

Hand‑hammered from premium B20 bronze in Istanbul, each cymbal is crafted to blend traditional cymbal‑making art with modern sensibilities of tone, durability, and musical flexibility.
