Features In Depth
Why Quality Matters:
1. Sonic Magic:
Good crash cymbals, like the ones in the Sabian AAX cymbal pack, add that magical sparkle to your drumming.
They’re like the secret sauce that makes your crashes pop with clarity and brilliance.
Sure, they might cost a bit more upfront, but trust me, it’s like ear candy for your audience.
The Catch: Yeah, they’re not the cheapest on the shelf, but hey, good things in life often come with a price tag, right?
2. Express Yourself, Drummer Style:
Sabian AAX cymbals are not just about making noise; they’re about making a statement.
Want a gentle crash or a bang that wakes up the neighbours? These bad boys got you covered.
They respond to your drumming mood swings like a true friend.
Beginner to Pro: Okay, so they might feel a bit different if you’re used to basic cymbals, but it’s like upgrading from a flip phone to a smartphone – takes a little getting used to. Change can be difficult when going from old beginner cymbals to something a bit more upmarket, but like the Matrix, once you know, you know and you’ll never go back.

Q & A
Q. Are Sabian AAX cymbals good?

Q. What material is Sabian AAX made of?
Sabian creates its AAX cymbals using a time-honoured blend of copper, tin, and silver, commonly referred to as B20 bronze. This blend has stood the test of time and makes the AAX series extremely durable and sound amazing.
