Sabian 18" AAX Aero Crash Cymbal

Sabian AAX cymbals are crafted from their B20 Bronze alloy, and were the first series to be hammered and lathed with the help of modern technology. Overseen by human hands and eyes, the consistency of machines combined with human musical intuition has created a line of cymbals with more brightness (high-pressure hammering), more cut (high-profile shape), and wider dynamic ranges (pinpoint lathing). The 18" AAX Aero Crash was unveiled in 2012, and features a combination of the raw AAX X-Plosion bell design with a ride area perforated with 64 precise holes that interrupt the vibration across the cymbal, 'trashing' it up a bit. This cymbal has a brilliant finish.
