Description

AA

• Quick response and classic bright tone all add up to an extremely musical crash. Ideal both on stage or in the studio. (6)

AAX

• The AAX Thin Crash provides super-fast response, added complexity and is slightly darker than the typical AAX. At the same time, more highs are introduced, which for drummers means brighter highs and more complex lows. (2)

B8

• Fast, punchy, bright and loud attack makes this a cutting crash. (7)

B8 Pro

• Quick-response and bright, tight, and focused tonal content add up to cutting accents. (7)

B8X

• Fast, punchy, bright and loud attack makes this a cutting crash. (5)

HH

• The HH Thin Crashes have a full-bodied musical response that is low, dark and warm. The low profile produces a quick attack and rapid decay. (3)

HHX

• The HHX Thin Crashes are thinner, darker and faster than the HHX Studio Crashes they replace. The smaller raw bell ensures faster attack and shimmering dark tone. These tend to be a bit lighter weight than a typical Thin Crash. (4)

HHX Complex

• A combination of HH and HHX hammering results in one of the richest, punchiest crash cymbals SABIAN has ever produced. The Complex Thin Crashes offer plenty of versatility to easily cross musical styles. (1)
