The Sabian AAX 18 inch Medium Brilliant Finish Crash Cymbal utilises a larger raw bell and a completely new hammering style to deliver increased projection, bright highs and darker, more complex lows.
Brighter, Faster, More Complex
Injecting a new palette of sound into this popular Sabian cymbal range, the newly transformed AAX series was revealed at NAMM 2019 alongside a new logo.
The cause of much discussion, this new Sabian logo was loved by some for its bold departure from tradition while others disliked the new direction.
Whatever your view on the new logo, it's certainly in keeping with the new Sabian Unbound ethos of being individual.
Designed to provide forward thinking drummers with a new range of sounds, the revamped AAX series sees the delisting of less popular models, the persistence of the Aero, Freq, X-Plosion and Omni, and the introduction of new crashes, hi-hats and rides.
Providing a more streamlined and focused range of sounds, the AAX series now also features a new hammering process to deliver smoother more refined highs and increased tonal complexity.
Sabian 21808XCB AAX 18 inch Medium Brilliant Crash Cymbal Key Features:
- Larger Raw Bell
- New AAX Hammering Style
- Slightly Darker Tone
- Brighter Highs, More Complex Lows
- Wider Band of Frequency
New Style, New Sound
As with all the new models in the AAX series, this 18 inch medium crash features a whole new hammering style.
This new process utilises a larger, rounder peen which serves to deliver a more visibly hammered cymbal surface combined with a more complex tone and slightly darker crash sound.
This hammering style opens up the top end of the cymbal sound to provide a wider band of frequency.
The addition of the brilliant finish serves to ensure this crash delivers shimmering brightness to cut through the densest musical situations.
The combination of the new hammering process and the brilliant finish results in a crash with increased, brighter highs and more complex dark lows.
Featuring the bright attacking cut needed to puncture the mix, this 18 inch crash also offers great depth of tone to deliver a weighty response filled with power.
Meaty Tone
This Sabian AAX Medium Crash features a larger, raw bell than typically seen on crashes of this size.
This larger bell works to add a meatier tone to the cymbal for a sound with great weighty projection.
Offering a robustness to the crash sound, the use of the bigger bell adds a chunkiness to the sound for a crash with substantial impact.
Ideal for situations when you need projection with extra weight and punch, this crash delivers a meaty burst of accenting tone.
Don't Ask For Permission
The whole ethos of the new AAX cymbal range is to celebrate and help develop individuality.
Designed to encourage drummers to seek out their own unique sound and style, the AAX series offers a variety of sounds to help you build your individual creative voice.
Made for those who want to shape their own musical future rather than looking to follow others, this AAX crash is for the ones who don't care what others are doing. For the ones who prefer to forge their own musical path.
Created to meet the demands of diverse modern music styles, the Sabian AAX cymbals utilise the latest manufacturing techniques to achieve the forward-thinking innovation Sabian always strives for.
If you're searching for your next musical move. Your own future sound. Look no further than Sabian AAX.
