AAX New Style

The transformation of the AAX cymbal series brings with it a whole new hammering process to deliver a new look and sound.

This new hammering style utilises a bigger, rounder peen which serves to produce a much more visibly hammered cymbal surface.

In addition to the aesthetic changes, the hammering process adds increased highs to the cymbal sound as well as bringing a hint of darkness to the lows.

What that means for drummers is a ride cymbal with a wider frequency range filled with brighter highs and more complex dark lows to provide a much more versatile breadth of sound.

Big Ride, Great Crash

The combination of the new hammering process and the inclusion of smaller raw bell makes this 22 inch ride cymbal feel much thinner than typical medium rides.

While the hammering style creates a ride with a thinner response, the smaller bell keeps the weight of the ride to a minimum allowing it to open up quickly to produce big bursts of bright crashing tone. 

Combining lusciously swelling crash response, bright stick ping and cutting bell tone, this Sabian AAX ride allows you to achieve a multitude of sounds from one cymbal.

Summary

The use of a new hammering style and smaller raw bell mean this Sabian AAX Medium Ride has a much lighter feel for improved crash response and wider tonal range.

The expanded frequency range results in increased shimmering highs and slightly darker lows to provide a versatile palette of sound ideal for a wide variety of musical styles.
