Modern Update of a Popular Range
Unveiled at NAMM 2019 alongside a much talked about new logo, the Sabian Unbound AAX series is a revamp of the original popular AAX line.
Initially released in 1993, the Sabian AAX cymbals quickly began popular thanks to their innovative modern sound.
Working to keep the range as modern and relevant as possible, Sabian have transformed the series by delisting less popular options, maintaining the successful X-Plosion, Freq, Aero and Omni models and introducing a series of new crashes, hats and rides.
Utilising a new hammering process, the new cymbals in the AAX series deliver increased highs, slightly more lows and a fast, complex sound ideal for a wide range of music styles.
The 18" Thin Brilliant 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
Made For The Future
The ethos of the new Sabian Unbound rebrand is to face your musical future head on.
Rather than following the crowd, Sabian want to encourage you to find your own unique style and individual sound.
Providing a range of tone to help you discover your own creative voice, the new AAX 18" Brilliant Thin Crash combines two new features to produce adaptable modern sound.
The combination of the small raw bell and completely new hammering process serves to provide a crash cymbal with a fast attack and a wider frequency response.
The bell helps to shape an extremely quick attacking response that bursts into action to deliver bright accenting tone.
Meanwhile the new AAX hammering style extends the frequency range of the cymbal to provide increased highs and slightly more lows with a more complex dark tone.
The result is a versatile crash that burst into action quickly to produce smoother, more refined highs blended with darker tonal complexity.
New Style
As mentioned, the re-energised AAX series sees the introduction of a whole new hammering style.
Featuring a larger, rounder peen, the hammering process creates a cymbal with a much more visibly hammered surface to deliver a silky-smooth aesthetic.
In addition to providing shimmering looks, the hammering style also allows the crash to achieve a wide range of frequency response.
The result is an 18" crash that produces more highs for added bright impact and slightly more lows filled with dark complexity.
This wider range of frequency makes this crash extremely versatile, allowing it to slot neatly into a vast array of musical styles and settings.
Summary
Providing a superb option for drummers who want to achieve their own unique sound, this crash offers versatile tone to meet the demands of diverse modern styles.
Utilising the combination of a small raw bell and a whole new hammering process, this thin crash delivers beautiful brilliance, fast attack and smooth, dark wash.
