Stagg Sensa 16" Brilliant Medium Crash Cymbal

If you're after a crash cymbal that doesn’t just make noise but makes a statement, the Stagg Sensa 16" Brilliant Medium Crash is ready to take its rightful place on your kit. It’s got shimmer, it’s got punch, and it’s got just enough sass to cut through the mix without bulldozing your groove.

Cast from luscious B20 bronze—a mixture of 80% copper and 20% tin that’s long been the secret sauce of professional cymbal craft—this 16-incher is as versatile as they come. It’s bright and brilliant in both name and nature, but there's nuance too: an airy attack up top with a warm, rounded tail that never overstays its welcome.

What makes the Brilliant Medium Crash shine (literally and sonically) is its high-polish finish. That dazzling surface does more than look pretty under stage lights—it opens up the cymbal’s voice, enhancing clarity and giving it an extra glassy sparkle when struck. The medium weight gives it that sweet spot between fast response and lingering presence, making it perfect for players who need a cymbal that sings without screaming.

Here at Musicmaker, we’ve seen a lot of crash cymbals roll through since the early '80s. Some whisper, some wail—but the Sensa 16" Brilliant Crash speaks in complete sentences. It’s ideal for the modern drummer who needs one cymbal to handle rehearsals, recording, and the rigours of live performance without breaking the bank or compromising on tone.
