Agean 18" Crash Hush Hush

Historical context and position within the range

The Hush Hush series is designed for drummers who want to retain the feel and personality of a traditional cymbal while benefiting from a slightly reduced volume level. It stands apart from classic low-volume cymbals through a more musical approach: the crash retains body, dynamics and a genuine ability to integrate into an acoustic drum setup.

Made in Uzunköprü, Turkey, this crash is rooted in the tradition of Turkish handcrafted cymbals. Each individual cymbal benefits from handcrafting, resulting in subtle visual and tonal variations that contribute to the instrument's unique character.

Who this Hush Hush Crash cymbal is for

This 18-inch crash will suit intermediate drummers as well as experienced musicians looking for an expressive cymbal that is easier to control than a highly explosive crash. Its controlled volume makes it more comfortable to play during rehearsals, on small stages, in studios or in settings where the sound balance needs to remain precise.

Its versatility allows it to fit naturally into rock, pop, funk, blues, soul, electric jazz and contemporary music. It is particularly well suited to drummers who want to punctuate their accents with energy without overwhelming the band's overall sound.
