Agean 17" Crash Hush Hush

Historical background and position within the range

The 17-inch Hush Hush embraces a modern approach to the acoustic cymbal: preserving the touch, dynamics and richness of a genuine handcrafted crash while naturally keeping its volume under control. It offers a compelling alternative to low-volume cymbals designed for practice, delivering a more musical, lively sound that can be used directly both in rehearsal and on stage.

Entirely handmade in Uzunköprü, Turkey, this cymbal benefits from traditional bronze-working methods. Each cymbal therefore has its own personality, defined by subtle variations in the hammering and the precision of its individually drilled perforations.

Who is this 17-inch Crash cymbal for?

This crash is aimed at intermediate to advanced drummers looking for an expressive cymbal that is less overpowering than a very powerful traditional crash. Its controllable response will also appeal to demanding musicians performing in settings where sonic balance is essential: small stages, rehearsals, studios, churches or acoustic ensembles.

Its 17-inch size offers an excellent compromise between presence and precision. It will naturally find its place in rock, pop, funk, modern jazz, fusion or independent music. Its supple response allows you to accent a groove effectively without overpowering the other instruments.
