SABIAN AA cymbals are made from 80% copper and 20% tin. During manufacturing, the blanks are rolled in up to 8 different directions, which lends the cymbal its great flexibility. The cymbal's bell and curvature are pressed into the flat, disc-shaped blank in a press. The cymbal is subsequently machine hammered and lathed by hand. This is how each cymbal gets its individual sound characteristics.

• Medium Thin Crash
• Brilliant finish
• Bright, tonally full sounding crash cymbal
• Due to its low thickness, it is extremely sensitive and has a fast response

On the way to an optimal cymbal sound, a special Paiste sound alloy from patented bronze was developed for the signature series. The result are instruments that have been gaining recognition since their introduction in 1989, and have proven themselves both in the studio and life. The sound has a high expressive power and can be described as filigree, transparent, musical, emotional and colourful.

As the newest effect cymbals from the AAX series, SABIAN presents its splash and crash cymbals in "O-Zone" design. For the first time, SABIAN has applied the popular concept known from the HHX Evolution series to the AAX series, a prize-winning series praised by international press.

With its fast response, biting sound, and fast fade, the new models are the "non-plus-ultra" in terms of effect cymbals. While regular AAX cymbals are tonally more in the mid-to-upper part of the spectrum, the exclusive design adds some darker sounds.

The splash cymbals are each provided with 6 holes of 1 inch each, the 18" crash with 6 holes of 1 ½ inches each. The 18" and 20" crashes are each provided with 8 holes of 1 ½ inches each. The reduction of the B20 metal not only causes a reduction in weight, but also contributes significantly to the sound properties.

The O-Zone Splashes are available exclusively with natural finish, the crashes with brilliant finish. All AAX series cymbals are hand hammered and made from SABIAN's B20 Bronze.
