The 18” AAX Rocktagon has the same 8-sided shape as its predecessor from the 80’s, but that’s where the similarity ends. This version is a thin crash weight with a raw un-hammered bell and pinpoint lathing that combine with the 8-sided shape to produce an immediate nasty crash with quick decay. The thicker raw bell also allows for strong bell accents and added punch. An excellent effects cymbal with an unusual look and sound.
This was originally a Vault Drop cymbal but you loved it so much, we’ve brought it back as a full-time member of the catalog.

I love it. It makes a great crash and the bell sounds great! It is my new favorite cymbal. Great job Sabian!

An exceptional and unique cymbal. I'm so glad they are back in production. I've had one for a few years and I put three rivets in it, making it a great left side crash/ride.
