Sabian AAX Thin Crash Brilliant 17-inch

General

That a brilliantly finished crash can also have a nice gritty layer is proven by the Sabian AAX Thin Crash Brilliant 17-inch. Partly due to its thin weight and brilliant finish, the basic sound of this chord is bright, but there is added low. This is due to the use of a hammer method with a larger striking surface, making the hits more visible and adding some complexity to the low end without being overpowering. The raw-finished bell enhances this effect a little. In addition, its small size ensures that this cymbal addresses quickly.
