The Sabian AAX Treme Chinese Cymbal is extra fast and has terrifically punchy response that is raw, dirty, and very tight - almost Kang-like - and super loud for maximum accent. Brilliant finish Sabian cymbals are highly buffed and preserved under a clear protective lacquer coating. Sabian AAX cymbals deliver pure, bright shimmering tones. Like stainless steel, AAX is cool, modern, and extremely efficient. With its streamlined design and sound-shaping Auto-Focus Response feature, AAX is the ultimate breakthrough in modern cymbal making. Tap with your finger or thrash with a stick, Auto-Focus Response maximizes sensitivity, equalizes high & low pitch levels, and purifies sounds by filtering out conflicting overtones. The AAX cymbal delivers the freedom to sound great in any music.
