Stagg Sensa 18" Exo Crash Cymbal
The Stagg Sensa 18" Exo Crash Cymbal is more than just a slab of B20 bronze—it's a handcrafted sonic sculpture that hits the sweet spot between explosive tone and musical finesse. Forged from a masterful blend of 80% copper and 20% tin, this cymbal doesn’t just crash—it sings, shimmers, and breathes life into your playing. Its brilliant, glassy top-end bloom is chased by rich, sweet overtones and a decay that fades with the kind of elegance you’d expect from a much pricier instrument.
But this isn't your typical bright-and-splashy crash. The Sensa Exo series is known for its unique construction: a raw, un-lathed bell that anchors the tone with earthy dryness, paired with a finely lathed and deeply hand-hammered bow that radiates clarity and complexity. The 18" diameter offers a perfect mid-ground—responsive enough for jazzy flicks of the stick, and bold enough to cut through the densest of rock mixes.
Whether you're building out a fusion kit or need something expressive and lively for a studio session, this cymbal will pull its weight and then some. At Musicmaker, we've been matching drummers to their perfect sound since the early '80s, and we can tell you: this one’s a sleeper hit. A pro-sounding crash at a price that doesn’t require a tour budget.
