A Modern Bright Splash
----------------------
If you prefer your splash cymbals to respond extremely fast and
very bright, with strong, penetrating cut, the 10” AAX Splash may
be for you! Punchy and penetrating, it cuts through the loudest
music, and works extremely well in modern musical genres – from
metal to hip-hop, the AAX Splash delivers the goods.
What is it Good For?
--------------------
Very few cymbals focus on projecting pure, bright and shimmering
sounds like AAX. It’s a sound that’s ideal in the studio and
ideal on stage. The 10” AAX Splash is no exception. An extra-thin
model, it’s transparent, extremely bright and very fast, ensuring
penetrating power that cuts in any setting. So you can take it
onstage with the confidence that your perfectly-timed accents get
heard. Or take it to the studio – this is a cymbal that
practically EQ’s itself. Your bandmates – and the
engineer – will love you!
Sabian AAX – Modern Bright
--------------------------
AAX changed everything! Before AAX, most cymbals were
manufactured using processes that had been around for centuries.
AAX was the first B20 Bronze cymbals designed and manufactured
using completely modern lathing and hammering techniques. The
result? Increased brightness, cut and musicality – for the widest
dynamic range ever achieved. And suddenly, the bright, explosive
tone of AA cymbals was available even at low volume. AAX uses
hand-guided, high-pressure hammering for instant, bright
responses. Pinpoint lathing is used to achieve increased
sensitivity and wide dynamic range – even at low volume. And the
high profile shape delivers cutting, high-pitched tone. In the
studio or on stage, in every style of music, only AAX delivers
such consistently bright, crisp, clear, and cutting responses.
AAX is the ultimate Modern Bright sound!
Hand-Crafted – Every Step of the Way
------------------------------------
Like all SABIAN B20 Cast Cymbals, the 10” AAX Splash begins its
life in the Foundry, where a centuries-old family process is used
to create the most musical and durable of all cymbal alloys.
Inside the Foundry, SABIAN metallurgists combine carefully
measured as of Copper, Tin and Silver, heat it to 2100
degrees Fahrenheit, and pour it into casts. At this stage, it’s
hard to believe these castings will eventually become a
penetrating cymbal like the AAX Splash. But first, they must go
on a journey through Multi-rolling for intensity, Hammering for
tone, Lathing for enhanced response and projection, and a final
Aging process in the legendary SABIAN Vault for optimum sound. In
a sense, it’s a journey that’s only complete when you play the
cymbal of your choice − an evolution from idea to reality. It is
this process – innovation blended with traditional cymbal-making
– that allowed AAX to make history as the first modern cymbal
concept in B20 bronze.
