Product Info
* Prices may vary. Check retailer for current pricing and availability.
The Black Sea 1623 is a beautifully crafted crash, perfect for drummers seeking a nuanced, darker tone. It's got a really lovely, almost vintage feel thanks to the hand-hammering, and responds incredibly well to subtle dynamics – great for jazz, acoustic, or anything where you need a lot of expression. Just be mindful of its thinner profile if you hit hard.
