Sabian 18" AA Rock Crash

Sabian 18" AA Rock Crash

The Sabian 18" AA Rock Crash delivers explosive, penetrating attack with high-pitched volume that cuts through dense mixes and live environments. This is a cymbal built for power—aggressive and bright, designed to command attention in rock, funk, and blues settings where cutting transients matter.

Tone & Character

B20 bronze construction with vintage bright voicing produces an aggressive attack paired with full tone and medium decay. The high-pitched, penetrating character makes this crash ideal for drummers working in louder genres where projection and definition are essential.

Build & Materials

Hand-crafted from B20 bronze—a time-tested alloy of 80% copper, 20% tin, and traces of silver—this medium-heavy crash delivers the warm complexity and durability that professional players expect. The 18" diameter provides versatile cut without sacrificing body.
