Bright crash focused pitch. A unique design inspired by the successful Holy China cymbal. The AAX 18 Aero Crash provides a high pitch sound with narrow spread. This allows it to cut through without extreme projection. The Aero Crash has an all-bright tone. The thin weight makes it responsive. The 18 diameter provides a great balance of attack and sustain with a much longer and smoother decay than the 16 Aero Crash. It also produces a lower pitch sound that would be complementary to the smaller size. Responding well at all dynamic levels it all comes down to how you choose to use it. Unique Hole Design The AAX Aero Splash Cymbal features a design similar to the Holy China by Sabian. These holes offer reduced metal within the cymbal and create a highly concentrated sound with high sustain. The cymbal also features a raw bell design borrowed from the AAX X-Plosion series. The higher density provided by the holes gives drummers a sound full of white noise. AAX Dynamic Focus Tap it. Thrash it.
