SABIAN 20" Thin Crash AAX Brilliant Finish

The 20" AAX Thin Crash delivers fast, responsive articulation with a compact raw bell that cuts through quickly in any mix. Its distinctive hammering pattern—larger and rounder than traditional AAX designs—produces a thinner cymbal with noticeably brighter highs and more complex lower frequencies. The brilliant finish adds a glassy shimmer to its modern voice, making it ideal for drummers seeking versatility across contemporary styles.

Sound Character & Response

A smaller raw bell accelerates the cymbal's attack, while the expanded hammering technique introduces additional complexity to both the high and low frequency ranges. This combination delivers brighter highs paired with more nuanced low-end character than conventional crash cymbals, expanding the sonic palette available to the player.

Construction & Design

Built from B20 Bronze—a proprietary alloy of copper, tin, and silver—and finished with a brilliant (highly polished) surface, this cymbal represents SABIAN's latest evolution in AAX crash design. Hand-tuned craftsmanship ensures consistent quality, backed by SABIAN's two-year warranty.
