A small raw bell ensures a quicker response. A completely new type of AAX hammering—much more visible on the surface of the cymbal due to the larger, rounder shaft—creates a thinner, more complex, and slightly darker crash. At the same time, more highs are introduced into the sound, resulting in a broader frequency range. For drummers, this means brighter highs and more complex lows. SABIAN has always pushed the boundaries of innovation and utilized the latest manufacturing technologies to respond to new trends in music and sound. The AAX Thin Crashes are no exception and are the answer to the demand for thinner, faster, and more complex crashes.
