21.5" Octagon Crash Ride – Titanium Handmade Cymbal (One of a Kind)

A unique, handcrafted titanium crash ride cymbal with an octagon shape, offering a dry and controlled character with a distinctive tonal response. This 21.5” model provides clear articulation and a focused feel, making it highly responsive and easy to control.

When opened up as a crash, it reveals a subtle, exotic flavour – slightly shimmering and expressive, adding a unique musical colour without overpowering the sound.

The octagonal profile introduces additional tension and irregular vibration patterns, resulting in a fast response and controlled sustain.

Each cymbal is cold-shaped by hand, ensuring a wide tuning range and a one-of-a-kind sonic identity.
