SABIAN AA Holy China Brilliant 17 in. Brilliant

Sabian is proud to offer the AA Holy China Brilliant 17" an innovative cymbal handcrafted from musical B20 bronze. Developed with Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith, this 17" Holy China delivers the trashy tone of the original China model at a lower volume. Its higher profile, wide lip and 51 holes combine to yield an explosive tone with increased volume, projection and sustain. The large raw bell provides a crisp, cutting sound, while the brilliant finish enhances clarity and articulation.

Unique Size and Hole Pattern For Unmatched Tone

The Sabian AA Holy China Brilliant 17" features a unique 17" size and 51 strategically placed holes to produce a trashy tone like no other. The holes increase projection and open up the sound, while reducing overall volume for a balanced trashy tone in any setting.

Higher Profile and Raw Bell For Power and Presence

A higher profile and wide lip give the AA Holy China Brilliant 17" a robust, powerful voice with enhanced presence. The large raw bell delivers a crisp attack and helps the cymbal cut through. Combined, these design elements make for an explosive cymbal with a commanding tone.

Handcrafted B20 Bronze Construction

Like all Sabian cymbals, the AA Holy China Brilliant 17" is handcrafted in Canada from B20 bronze, a proprietary alloy prized for its musicality, responsiveness and durability. B20 bronze provides the ideal combination of tonal qualities for a trashy yet musical cymbal.

Vintage-Inspired Design, Modern Tone

While inspired by vintage China cymbals, the AA Holy China Brilliant 17" delivers a modern, innovative tone all its own. Sabian developed this cymbal in collaboration with Chad Smith to provide a trashy, loud option for creative drummers. The end result is a highly versatile cymbal that produces a range of trashy sounds not found in any other cymbal.
