Bosphorus 18" Antique Series Crash Cymbal

This 18" Bosphorus Antique Crash delivers a warm, dark, and textured crash sound with the distinctive character of the Antique Series. It combines classic handcrafted cymbal warmth with a slightly drier, more controlled voice, making it a strong choice for players who want depth and personality without excessive brightness.

At 1390g, this crash opens with a responsive attack, a dark shimmer, and a smooth, controlled decay. It has enough body to make a musical statement, but the sound remains focused and easy to blend within the kit. The result is a crash that feels expressive, earthy, and refined.

The Bosphorus Antique Series is especially well suited for drummers looking for a darker, vintage-inspired cymbal voice with warmth, texture, and control. This 18" crash works beautifully for jazz, acoustic music, R&B, soul, funk, worship, studio recording, and any setting where character and musicality matter more than sheer volume.
