Raw Bell Delivers Quick Response

The AAX Medium Crash's raw bell provides an immediate, articulate response. Notes speak with clarity as the stick first meets the cymbal, enabling tight, rhythmic passages. This quickness, combined with the cymbal's medium weight, gives drummers a crash able to keep up with rapid-fire drumming one moment and open up to a loud, sustained rumble the next.

Progressive Hammering Technique Creates Complex Tones

Sabian's innovative hammering method produces a more sculpted, multi-dimensional crash sound. The highly-visible hammering is applied in a circular pattern across nearly the entire cymbal surface, manipulating frequencies to achieve brighter highs as well as darker, lower tones. The result is a cymbal with a wide range of overtones, suited for musical styles reliant on atmospheric, expressive cymbal work.
