The Sabian AAX 18" Thin Crash Cymbal injects a whole new palette of sound into the AAX series. Delivering a thinner, faster, more complex tone, this crash is the ideal choice for the forward-thinking, modern drummer.
Old Favourite, New Style
First introduced in 1993, the Sabian AAX series delivered modern tone for the fast-moving drummer.
Over 25 years on, the musical landscape has changed and in keeping with the new demands of modern styles and sounds, Sabian have transformed their ground-breaking range to bring it into the present.
Delivering an innovative forward-thinking outlook in keeping with the release of their new logo, Sabian revamped the AAX series for the individual creatives who don't follow the crowd.
Offering a wider range of tone filled with extra highs, slightly more lows and a fast, complex sound, the 18" thin crash is for those who want to shape the future face of music.
The 18" Thin Crash is also available in a
- Raw Bell Delivers Faster Response
- New Style of AAX Hammering
- Thinner Sound with Darker Tone
- Brighter Highs, More Complex Lows
- Wide Band of Frequency
Hammer It Home
The re-energised AAX series sees the introduction of an entirely new hammering style.
Utilising a larger, rounder peen, this new hammering process delivers a more visible hammered appearance on the cymbal surface and works to create a much wider frequency response.
The larger hammering helps to extend the high frequencies of the crash sound as well as introducing slightly more lows.
The result is a crash that's filled with increased top end brightness and a darker, more complex depth of tone.
This wider range of frequency makes this crash extremely versatile, allowing it to slot neatly into a vast array of musical styles and settings.
Future Thinking
The whole premise of the new Sabian Unbound rebrand is to face your musical future head on.
Instead of following the crowd and slotting into the norm, Sabian wants to encourage you to find your own individual styles and sound.
Offering you the sound options to find your own creative voice, the new AAX 18" Thin crash combines two new features to deliver a new, modern sound.
The small raw bell ensures a super-fast attack to produce bright bursts of instant accenting tone, great for injecting added impact into your playing.
The 18" crash also features a completely new hammering process that helps to extend the width of frequency it produces.
Delivering more highs combined with slightly more lows, this crash provides a full range of sound ideal for a wide variety of musical styles.
The result is a versatile crash that burst into action quickly to produce smoother, more refined highs blended with darker tonal complexity.
Summary
Offering modern drummers a new updated version of the popular AAX sound, this AAX 18" Thin Crash delivers versatile tone to meet the demands of current, diverse styles.
The combination of a small raw bell and a whole new hammering process results in a crash that provides brilliantly fast attack, crisp brightness and full dark wash.
