Using your Sabian S1816 18 - Inch Stratus Chinese Cymbal is easy. Just mount it on your cymbal stand and use your drumsticks to strike it. When you want a sharp, quick sound, hit it with a bit of force. For a more subtle effect, use a lighter touch. To keep it in good shape, clean it regularly with a soft, dry cloth.
