Sabian AA Metal X Crash Cymbal
Design
SABIAN has introduced AA Metal-X, a range of aggressive, high-powered cymbals designed specifically for today's hardest-hitting, loudest and heaviest drummers. Handcrafted from SABIAN secret-process B20 bronze, the world's most durable and effective cymbal alloy, AA Metal-X delivers power through a uniquely new and innovative design that focuses on cymbal performance efficiency, not weight to create the power required to cut through today's high-powered playing situations. Loaded with new design concepts, this professional 'Brilliant Finish' range is definitely designed for today's power players.
Commented Sabian master product specialist Mark Love:
"AA Metal-X gain power from their design, not the addition of more metal, so they respond faster and louder, cut farther, and explode with bigger sounds. This is done by maximizing the power potential of the tension found in the metal of AA cymbals, then releasing it with a design that not only accelerates the response rate, but boosts response power to a new higher level. Each cymbal is lathed, polished to a Brilliant Finish, then line-lathed a second time. The amount of pressure applied in that 2nd lathing tunes the structure of the cymbal sound and increases its effectiveness. AA Metal-X is not for the shy; it's for drummers who play with the sort of hard-hitting conviction that would destroy other cymbals."
