Fast, Dark, and Explosive — Meet the Sabian AAX Thin Crash 18″ crash from the redesigned AAX line An evolved sound for today’s drummers Thin weight — exhibits a low pitch, fast response, and good control Small bell — the key to a pure tone and quick response Larger-peen hammering imparts greater darkness and complexity Artisan-cast and crafted from B20 bronze Low weight and hand-tuned B20 artisan craftsmanship lend the 18″ Sabian AAX Thin Crash to the most exacting close-miked applications — onstage or in the studio. This crash delivers a quick, explosive attack by way of its small bell, with dynamic control to suit small stages and a balanced broadband voice for versatility in the hands. New larger-peen hammering imparts even greater darkness and complexity to the 18″ Thin Crash’s AAX series DNA, for even more of that Sabian goodness today’s drummers demand. Sabian’s AAX cymbals have been pushing envelopes and breaking new ground since 1993. Today’s redesigned AAX lineup is leaner, meaner, and primed to cover even more ground in the drumming market. Thin, Medium, and Heavy models now allow drummers to shop by weight, pitch, and projection. A new larger-peen hammering process makes the redesigned AAX collection a fortified blend of Sabian’s class-leading darkness and complexity across the board. Whatever style of music you play, great tone awaits you with Sabian AAX series cymbals. Sabian casts its AAX cymbals from a centuries-old recipe of copper, tin, and silver — also known as B20 bronze. This bell bronze is one of the most musical alloys on earth and, together with Sabian’s old-world artisan craftsmanship, is the secret to the 18″ AAX Thin Crash’s ear-pleasing partials and complex characteristics.
