General
Sabian is one of the most famous cymbal manufacturers in the world. The company was founded in 1981 by Robert Zildjian, when his older brother became the head of the Zildjian company. Armed with a lifetime of knowledge and experience, he started over and created a company named after his three children, Sally, Bill and Andy (SaBiAn). Over time, Sabian grew into the respected company it is today, and now belongs to what has been dubbed 'the big four', along with Zildjian, Paiste and Meinl.
Sabian AAX series
Today, Sabian is known for their innovative cymbals, and the AAX line is what started it all. Like the AA-series, it consists of machine-made B20 bronze cymbals. The AAX series, however, receives very different hammering and lathing treatments, which results in a very different sound. It also features the exclusive Auto-Focus Response feature. Where other cymbals have a 'response threshold', meaning they sound best once they reach a certain volume, AAX cymbals respond with total accuracy at all dynamic levels, from low to high volumes.
Sabian AAX 15-inch Studio Crash
The 15-inch AAX Studio Crash offers a beautifully rich, glassy sound with full tones and shimmering accents. As the name implies, this responsive cymbal is great for use in the studio, as it places less emphasis on volume and cut, and more on the musicality of the cymbal. Thanks to the Auto-Focus Response feature, it is suitable for a wide range of dynamic levels and a great many musical styles.
