collapse expand iconDescription

AA Series Thin Crash cymbals have a fast response, with sufficient metal content for full, bright and explosive sounds.

AA cymbals combine musicality and energy for sounds that are bright, bold and explosive. Reinforced with the power and strength of multi-rolled, secret-process bronze shaped under 75 tons of hydraulic pressure, AA delivers with inner strength and outer energy. Cool for retro, right for now, these highly durable cymbals move a lot of air in any kind of music. From the Latin flavor of El Sabor to models that rock, swing, and groove, AA is extremely versatile.

    I love this cymbal. I have the 16". I originally bought it to round-out and compliment my heavier rock crashes with something a little lighter, and now I find myself hitting this thing twice as much as I do all my other crashes put together. It explodes and dissipates nicely, but what I like is that if you hit it lightly, you get a light crash. "Light crash" ??? That doesn't even sound right, but it is great when you need that little emphasis or accent here or there. If my cymbal ever cracks or breaks - kinda unlikely since I've had mine for 20 years now - I'm getting another one.

    been playing them for 20 years now and love the heck out of em. I am a rock musician and I love these cymbals for their sharp bite into the music. not to overwhelming but just the right amount to get noticed and heard. They are quite Brite which I really like but as has been mentioned they also have a medium decay to them. Great cymbal for all types of music

  • Brilliant!!

    I've had this cymbal in a 16" for at least three years as my main crash and it has served me well. I JUST noticed last night playing that it's was beginning to crack out, but after three years of constant use, that's really amazing. I plan on running my current one up until it splits clean in half, then buy another one. I highly recommend this cymbal. Bright tone with some medium tones throughout decay, fast response, moderate decay, great overall sound. I ride this crash all the time and it cuts through perfectly without overpowering anything. If you need a new crash, pick this one up, you won't regret it.

  • Quick response, nice sound.

    I loved this cymbal. You could think its too bright, but its not. When you play it you̴��ll note a medium pitch and and explosive sound. I like the quick response. I got the 15 inch crash and for the type of music I play, its strong enough. Really good cymbal.

  • My first crash

    I bought this crash about 2 months ago.. and I'm really amazed with his sound! If you go to Sabian.com to check how it sounds, you get a really nice brilliant sound.. but when you try it in a store o something it gives you a lower pitch than you imaginated.. but who cares? It really sounds so good. Its really good at keeping rythms. I'm gonna buy another crash later (with a higher pitch) so I can use this one like my 2nd.
