Drum Cymbal Sabian 21" AA Holy China (Brilliant)

The AA series is one of Sabian's two original lines and is based on the classic sound principles that shaped the brand's history. Thanks to automatic hammering, AA cymbals are characterized by dense, controlled brightness and a large volume reserve, making them ideal for styles that require powerful projection – from classic and punk rock to alternative and contemporary genres.

The Sabian 21" AA Holy China (Brilliant) is an extreme effect cymbal designed for maximum loudness and aggressive accents. It is designed without compromise in volume and ”dirty" character. The high profile, unfinished bowl, and 16 rows of holes, specially placed to enhance the noise component, create an extremely sharp, explosive, and chaotic sound. The cymbal opens instantly even with a light strike, but with a strong attack it produces a real wall of sound that easily cuts through any mix. The thin weight adds speed to the response and makes the accents as sharp and effective as possible.

64 holes across the entire surface of the cymbal further enhance its trashy character, reduce sustain, and make the sound even sharper, noisier, and as aggressive as possible, ideal for extreme accents. Made from B20 bronze alloy (80% copper and 20% tin), the cymbal combines strength, stability, and a rich overtone spectrum characteristic of Sabian professional models. The Brilliant coating not only gives it a bright stage appearance, but also emphasizes the upper range, making the sound even more aggressive and piercing.
