The Sabian AAX 17 inch Thin Brilliant Finish Crash Cymbal combines a fast attack with increased highs and darker lows to offer impactful punch to your playing. The brilliant finish offers a slightly brighter top end response than the natural model.
Revamp of a Popular Range
Unveiled at NAMM 2019 alongside a controversial new logo, the Sabian AAX cymbal series has been transformed to bring it inline with the demands of modern music genres and playing styles.
While some loved the new forward-thinking logo, others prefer the long-standing traditional option that's been replaced.
Wherever you stand on the Sabian logo debate, it's definitely in keeping with the innovative modern outlook of the new AAX series transformation.
Intended for those who want to create their own individual sound rather than following the crowd, the AAX cymbal range features a new hammering process to offer an increased range of tone.
Some less popular AAX lines have been delisted, while the popular X-Plosion, Aero, Omni and Freq varieties remain.
The new additions include thin and medium crashes and thin, medium and heavy rides each providing added highs, slightly more darkness and a complex overall tone.
Sabian 21706XCB AAX 17 inch Thin Brilliant Crash Cymbal Key Features:
- Raw Bell Delivers Faster Response
- New Style of AAX Hammering
- Thinner Sound with Darker Tone
- Brighter Highs, More Complex Lows
- Wide Band of Frequency
The New Style
The updated transformation of the Sabian AAX series sees the introduction of a new hammering style that works to deliver, not just a new look but also, a range of cymbals with a much wider frequency response.
Utilising a larger, rounder peen, this new hammering process produces a more pronounced, more visible hammered appearance to the cymbal surface.
The larger hammering helps to extend the high frequencies as well as providing slightly more lows for a crash sound filled with increased brightness and darker, complex tone.
This wide range of tone makes this crash extremely versatile; capable of adapting to meet the needs of a vast array of musical styles and settings.
Future Sounds
The whole premise of the new Sabian Unbound rebrand is to face your musical future head on.
Rather than following the norm and joining the crowd, Sabian want to encourage you to find your own individual sound to express your unique style.
That's why the new AAX 17 inch Thin Brilliant Crash features a small raw bell and a new more pronounced hammering process; to deliver a modern sound of faster attack, brighter highs and darker lows.
The use of the small raw bell works to create a crash with a super-fast attack that delivers fast bursts of instant accenting tone perfect for injecting added impact into your playing.
The 17 inch brilliant crash also features a completely new hammering process that helps to extend the width of frequency it produces.
Offering more highs combined with slightly more lows, this crash delivers a full range of sound perfect for a wide range of musical styles.
The bright top end is accentuated further by the brilliant finish, while the expanded lows are filled with complex darkness to provide a crash sound with full impact.
The result is a versatile crash that burst into action quickly to produce smoother, more refined highs blended with darker tonal complexity.
Summary
Providing drummers with a modern update on the popular AAX sound, this new AAX 17 inch Brilliant crash offers versatile tone to meet the demands of present, diverse music styles.
The combination of a small raw bell and new hammering style results in a crash with a very fast attack, bright top end and full dark lows.
