AAX 18" Freq Crash

A SABIAN-exclusive dual-lathing process results in a unique, intensely-cutting cymbal that delivers a quick burst of hi-frequency tone, filling the stage with huge, open sound. Most rock cymbals cut with focused high-pitched tone generated by the Bell. Not so the 18” SABIAN Freq Crash, where the cut is boosted by the exclusive dual-lathing. Time to get your Freq on!

AAX 18" Thin Crash

The 18” AAX Thin Crash from SABIAN introduces a whole new palette of sound to the AAX line. A smaller raw bell than typically found on larger crashes delivers fast response. A whole new style of AAX hammering − much more visible on the surface of the cymbal due to the larger, rounder peen − makes for a thinner, more complex and slightly darker crash. At the same time, more highs are introduced into the sound, resulting in a wider band of frequency. For drummers, that means brighter highs and more complex lows. SABIAN has always pushed the boundaries of innovation, using the latest manufacturing technology to answer new trends in music and sound. AAX Thin Crashes are no exception, answering the call for thinner, faster, more complex crashes.

AAX 14" Thin Hats

The 14″ AAX Thin Hats from SABIAN introduce a whole new palette of sound to the AAX line. A smaller, raw bell results in crispy, versatile hi-hats that blend nicely into mainstream sounds. The foot is very solid, and the thin weight makes them ideal for studio recording.

The completely new hammering style − much more visible on the surface of the cymbal due to the larger, rounder peen − makes for a more complex and slightly darker pair of Hats. At the same time, more highs are introduced into the sound, resulting in a wider band of frequency.
