17 inch diameter
The middle crash size. Enough body to sustain, still fast enough to get out of the way.

SABIANLegacy Crash Cymbal 17 in.
1/8
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
17-inch crash from Sabian's Legacy line. A mid-size main or secondary crash for drummers wanting a warmer, darker response than bright modern crashes.
Strong match
Who this is for
- A main crash on a one or two cymbal setup
- Pairing with an 18 for high and low crash voices
- Players wanting warmth over bright, glassy attack
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Drummers needing maximum cut through loud, distorted guitars
- Anyone on a starter budget building a first cymbal set
- Use as a ride — too thin to hold a steady pattern
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Legacy line
Sabian's darker, more controlled voice. Less bright shimmer, more warmth and a shorter, drier decay.
Detail 03
Crash cymbal
Built to be struck on the edge for accents, not ridden. Thinner than a ride, so it opens up fast.
Detail 04
$429.99 price
Professional tier. Hand-worked cymbals at this level have more tonal complexity than stamped entry-level bronze.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Single cymbal only. No stand, sleeve, felts or wing nut included
- 02Crash on the edge at an angle — flat, straight hits crack cymbals
- 03Pair with a different diameter if buying two, so the pitches separate
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is 17 inches a good crash size?
Yes, it is the most versatile single crash size. It sustains longer than a 16 but responds faster than an 18, so it works as a main crash on most kits.
02Can I use this as a ride?
No. Crashes are thinner and open up under repeated stick hits, so a ride pattern turns to wash quickly. Use a dedicated ride.
03How does the Legacy line sound?
Darker and warmer than Sabian's bright series, with a more controlled decay. It sits inside a mix rather than slicing over the top of it.
04What should I pair it with?
An 18-inch crash gives you a clear high and low pair. Matching two 17s makes the pitches too close to distinguish.
