Small Bell Provides Lightning-Fast Response

Innovative Hammering Technique Creates Complex Tones

Sabian's master cymbalsmiths have developed an advanced hammering technique to produce the complex tones of the AAX Thin Crash Brilliant 17". Using a larger, rounder hammering peen, these skilled artisans have created a highly-visible hammering pattern across the surface of the cymbal. The result is a darker, richer crash with more high-frequency shimmer and a wider range of harmonics for a full, satisfying sound.

Weighing in at a lightweight 1,540 grams, the AAX Thin Crash Brilliant 17" provides an ultra-responsive crash that players can finesse with ease. Its thin design and small bell give this professional-level cymbal outstanding sensitivity, enabling drummers to execute intricate crash variations and subtle tonal shifts with confidence. For a cymbal that reacts instantly to your lightest touch, the AAX Thin Crash Brilliant 17" is unparalleled.

Two-Year Warranty and Protective Packing Included
