Sabian AAX 16" Thin Crash Cymbal - Brilliant Finish

The Sabian AAX 16" Thin Crash Cymbal is a gem of a cymbal that provides exciting bursts of dark, musical attack that will sit very well in almost any cymbal setup. Small and lightweight, this cymbal explodes with a sense of urgency and flourishes with a wash of rich, dark, and husky tones. It’s bright and expressive, articulating every subtle complexity and expression, and thanks to its dynamic, focused crash, this cymbal is very well suited to close-mic recording. 

That said, this is also a great live cymbal that will sound great on-stage. It possesses a great balance of volume, projection and cut that will slice through a live mix with ease and confidence. It owes this assured focus and rapid response to its small bell and brilliant finish, features that also add to this cymbals pure tone and dynamic control. The AAX series also features all-new larger-peen hammered surfaces that add a rich and smokey darkness to the 16" Thin Crash’s sonic properties.
