The 18" AAX Heavy Crash brings a brand - new sound palette to the AAX series. Its larger raw bell boosts projection with a higher pitch. A unique hammering style, visible on the cymbal's surface due to the larger, rounder peen, creates a more complex and slightly darker crash sound. At the same time, it adds more high - frequency tones, expanding the frequency range. Drummers will enjoy brighter highs and more complex lows. SABIAN is at the forefront of innovation, using advanced manufacturing tech to meet music trends. The AAX Heavy Crashes are a prime example, offering brighter, faster, and more complex crash sounds.
Additional Information:
Using this Sabian 21809XC AAX 18 - inch heavy crash cymbal is easy. Just mount it on your cymbal stand as you would with any other cymbal. When playing, you can hit it with your drumsticks to get that bright and complex sound. For a more intense sound, hit it harder; for a softer tone, use a lighter touch. When it comes to maintenance, keep it clean by wiping it with a soft cloth after each use. Avoid using abrasive cleaners as they can damage the cymbal's surface. Also, store it in a dry place to prevent rusting. Be careful not to drop it or bang it against hard objects, as this can cause cracks and affect the sound quality.
