Sabian 19" Freq Crash AAX

Sabian 19" Freq Crash AAX

The Sabian 19" Freq Crash AAX delivers quick, cutting bursts of high-frequency tone through an exclusive dual-lathing process that sets it apart from conventional crash cymbals. This medium-thin cymbal excels at cutting through a dense mix with bright, open sound that projects across the stage without relying on a heavily emphasized bell. The AAX series positions this crash as a modern choice for players seeking intensity and articulation.

Tone & Projection

The Freq dual-lathing design — featuring a traditionally lathed outer surface paired with a specially lathed inner surface — generates boosted cut from the cymbal body rather than concentrating tone in the bell alone. A raw, unlathed bell contributes dry, cutting character that cuts through even loud ensemble playing, making this crash equally suited to recording studios and live stages.

Build & Materials

Constructed from B20 cymbal bronze, this cymbal embodies Sabian's premium bronze standard for tonal complexity and durability. The medium-thin weight (approximately 1479–1603 grams per individual cymbal) balances responsive articulation with sufficient mass to sustain projection.
