SABIAN 16" Medium Crash AAX Brilliant Finish

SABIAN 16" AAX Medium Crash

Expanded Tonal Range with New Hammering Technique

This 16-inch Medium Crash from SABIAN’s AAX series has been developed with a new approach in both design and sound character. A larger raw bell enhances projection, while an updated hammering style—visible in the form of rounder and deeper marks on the cymbal surface—produces a more nuanced and slightly darker tone.

Sound Characteristics and Features

The modified hammering method enhances both high and low frequencies, resulting in a broader tonal curve. This gives the cymbal a mix of crisp highs and more complex undertones, making it suitable for a variety of musical settings where dynamic control and tonal variation are important.
