Turkish Cymbals 17" Crash

The 17-inch crash is the bridge size par excellence: fuller and longer-sustaining than a 16", yet noticeably faster and more defined than an 18". That balance is exactly why so many drummers swear by this format. At Cymballand, every piece is handcrafted in Istanbul from pure B20 bronze (80% copper, 20% tin) – individually hammered, lathed and sonically one of a kind.

Series in this size

In 17 inches, the choice ranges from the dark, complex Cappadocia to the bright, punchy Rock Beat and the traditionally warm Jazz. The velvety NJG adds a fine custom touch, the partly raw, partly lathed Sehzade plays across genres, and the matte-brilliant Euphonic combines volume with warmth. You'll find more sizes in our crash cymbals overview.

What a 17-inch crash is made for

The 17" is the most versatile crash of all: bright enough for fast accents, full enough to carry as a main crash. In the studio, on stage or as the only crash in a compact setup – it covers a surprising number of situations.
