19" AA Holy China Brilliant

Chad Smith and Michael Anthony with the Sabian Holy China

Description
The Sabian AA Holy China Brilliant 21" is a cymbal designed in collaboration with Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith to deliver an explosive sound ideal for rock, funk, jazz and blues. This innovative cymbal from the cymbal masters at Sabian combines 64 holes, a large raw bell, high profile and wide lip to produce a bright, loud tone. The 21" size provides a lower pitch that complements the sonic footprint of most drum kits.
Cut Through the Mix With Piercing Brilliance
The Sabian AA Holy China Brilliant 21" cymbal's design enhances its ability to cut through dense mixes with a shimmering, piercing tone. Its high profile further raises the pitch to help the cymbal's sound carry over other instruments. Sixty four strategically placed holes increase volume and sustain for a trashy reverberation that seems to last endlessly.
Raw, Rugged Bell Delivers a Mighty Cut
The Sabian AA Holy China Brilliant 21" cymbal hosts is a large, unfinished raw bell that provides an aggressive, metallic cut. The bell's rawness gives drummers a durable surface for crashing and a bold, assertive tone. Combined with the cymbal's brilliant finish and high profile, the raw bell helps the AA Holy China Brilliant 21" cymbal slice through live mixes with a commanding presence.
Performance-Ready Design Meets the Demands of Any Genre
With a combination of sonic features tailored for high-volume performance, the Sabian AA Holy China Brilliant 21" cymbal delivers the power, cut and trashy tones desired for rock, funk and blues. Its substantial size also provides the lower pitch range to complement full drum kits, while its innovative hole and bell design yields the volume to keep up with the loudest bands. The AA Holy China Brilliant 21" cymbal is a revolution in china cymbal design, fusing tradition with modernity.

The Holy China is the top notch of china cymbals! Perfect cutting of sound through loud amps but also has a great control of volume and attack! I don't place it in the front of my kit just cause our singer gets close to the kit but the cymbal does exactly what I need it to do! Great value for what this cymbal does!
Love this cymbal, but prone to cracking.

Great China, but I recommend getting the performance guarantee for at least 2 years. I am a heavy hitter. I absolutely love this China, but it is prone to cracking around all the holes.
Holy!!!

This cymbal is awesome. It is my first non-Zildjian cymbal to purchase and I absolutely love it. I am in a Rock Band (KYSER) and have been playing since I was in 3rd grade, I am 42 now. The impact and sound this cymbal produces is awesome. Don't hesitate. Chad Smith is one of my favorite drummers of all time and his signature series cymbal rocks!
