Drum Cymbal Sabian 17" AA Holy China (Brilliant)

Sabian 17" AA Holy China is a real challenge for the standard sound! This explosive model was created in collaboration with the legendary drummer of the Red Hot Chili Peppers Chad Smith, so get ready for maximum drive and aggression.

Thanks to innovative Sabian technologies and thoughtful design, Holy China received a unique high profile that increases tone, special holes for improved projection and sustain, as well as a massive raw cup that provides a clear, cut-through sound and increased durability. This is a real China of the new generation. 48 holes, a large "raw" cup, a raised profile and wide edges – all this creates a real sound monster with an explosive, piercing character.

Holy China is not for conservatives. Its sound is brittle, breakthrough and bright – ideal for accents that must be heard from the first strike. The unique shape with a large number of holes gives the cymbal an extremely fast attack and fast decay, which makes it ideal for live performance and dynamic playing. Crafted from B20 bronze, the cymbal combines high-quality sound with durability, while its vintage style underlines its character and adds charm to any drum set.

"This is the first time we’ve developed a cymbal of this type," says Mark Love, Sabian’s Lead Product Specialist. "O-Zone fans will immediately notice that the holes are smaller in size, but there are significantly more of them. This design helps smooth out the attack, reduce the low-end droop, and reduce the distortion that is common with larger holes. Plus, it’s just incredible!"
