Drum Cymbal Sabian 18" AAX Aero Crash

The AAX series is a modern reinterpretation of the classic AA line and features heavy hammering, which provides a bright attack, clear sound, and stable response at any volume level. With their wide dynamic range, AAX cymbals are equally suited for studio work and live performances in styles ranging from pop to heavy rock and metal.

The Sabian 18" AAX Aero Crash combines an unfinished X-Plosion cymbal with an innovative design that includes 72 holes across the entire surface of the cymbal. This design reduces excess volume, speeds up response, and adds sharpness and control to the sound. The cymbal has a bright, piercing character with a crisp attack and balanced tone that is easy to hear even in a dense mix. The medium-thin construction makes it sensitive to playing dynamics, allowing for both quick accents and a full, energetic release with a stronger strike. Made from B20 bronze alloy (80% copper and 20% tin), the cymbal offers a combination of strength, musicality, and a rich overtone spectrum, as well as excellent dynamic sensitivity and quick response to the strike, which is a hallmark of Sabian's professional models.
