SABIAN AAX Freq Crash Cymbal 18 in.

Sabian is proud to introduce the AAX Freq Crash Cymbal 17″, an innovative crash cymbal. The AAX Freq Crash Cymbal utilizes Sabian’s exclusive FREQ lathing process to produce an intensely bright, slicing crash tone tailored for contemporary drummers and drumming styles. Although most rock cymbals generate their cutting tone from the bell, the AAX Freq Crash Cymbal gets its boosted, brilliant cut from the FREQ lathing method. Once you experience this crash live or in the studio, you’ll want to get your FREQ on.

FREQ Lathing Unlocks a Modern Crash Tone

Sabian’s pioneering FREQ lathing process results in a crash cymbal with an instantly identifiable tone. The FREQ lathing method creates a unique, raw bell and precisely tapered bow that delivers an abundance of high-frequency content, filling the stage or studio with huge, open sound. Compared to a traditional crash cymbal, the AAX Freq Crash Cymbal produces a quicker, more articulated burst of tone with enhanced cut and projection. For drummers seeking a contemporary cymbal sound, the AAX Freq Crash Cymbal is the perfect choice.

Performance-Ready B20 Bronze

The AAX Freq Crash Cymbal is cast from Sabian’s musical, responsive B20 bronze, a proprietary alloy blend containing 20% tin that produces cymbals with a wide range of timbres. B20 bronze provides the ideal foundation for the FREQ lathing process to unlock the AAX Freq Crash Cymbal’s unique sonic properties. And because B20 bronze is also highly durable, the AAX Freq Crash Cymbal can withstand the demands of regular gigging and recording.

Modern Style Meets Legendary Craftsmanship

With its raw, unlathed bell and tapered bow, the AAX Freq Crash Cymbal has an appearance as bold and cutting-edge as its tone. But behind the modern style is Sabian’s legendary dedication to craftsmanship. The AAX Freq Crash Cymbal is handcrafted according to exacting standards, ensuring outstanding musicality, consistency and longevity. And it’s protected by Sabian’s two-year warranty.
