Sabian 8" AAX Splash

Sabian 8" AAX Splash

The 8" AAX Splash cuts through the mix with extreme speed and brilliant brightness, delivering penetrating articulation in a compact footprint. This cymbal responds instantly to lighter touch dynamics while maintaining clarity and definition across full-volume applications. The small diameter makes it ideal for tight spaces on drum kits while punching well above its size in live and studio settings.

Tone & Sonic Character

Extremely fast attack with a very bright, cutting response defines the AAX Splash's voice. The Dynamic Focus design eliminates volume threshold and distortion, ensuring clean articulation whether played softly or struck hard—a hallmark of the AAX series, which delivers consistently crisp, clear, and cutting modern bright tones.
