Drum Cymbal Sabian 16" AA Raw Bell Crash

Sabian AA is one of the brand's two original series, which laid the foundation for Sabian's signature sound. Named after the automatic anvils used in production, the AA series combines classic traditions with a powerful, controlled character. The cymbals in this series are characterized by dense brightness, clear articulation, and a large volume reserve, making them ideal for classic rock, punk, alternative, and other energetic styles.

The Sabian 16" AA Raw Bell Crash is designed for loud and dynamic playing. It delivers a powerful, piercing, and intense sound that cuts through a dense mix even at high volumes. The unfinished dome adds aggression and a characteristic "raw" attack to the sound, emphasizing every accent and making the cymbal as expressive as possible. Classic thickness combined with a thin profile provides high sensitivity and quick response – the cymbal opens instantly with a light touch and at the same time is capable of withstanding powerful strikes. This makes the Raw Bell Crash perfect for both bright accents and sustained dynamic playing. With its balanced combination of brightness and control, the cymbal remains legible in both studio recordings and live performances. It responds clearly to changes in dynamics, allowing the musician to easily transition from delicate accents to powerful explosive crashes. Made from professional B20 bronze (20% tin and 80% copper), this model combines vintage character, bright sound, and modern reliability, making the Sabian 16" AA Raw Bell Crash a versatile choice for drummers who value power, control, and musicality.
