SABIAN 20" AAX Suspended

SABIAN 20" AAX Suspended Cymbal

The SABIAN 20" AAX Suspended delivers even response across the full dynamic range, making it equally dependable at soft rolls and aggressive crashes. Its mid-bright tone with rich harmonic complexity sits distinctly between the warmer AA series and the darker HHX/Artisan lines, offering versatility across ensemble settings. This cymbal's quickly blossoming sound and shimmering sustain project with authority in band rooms, orchestras, and professional venues.

Sonic Character & Projection

The AAX Suspended produces a darker tone than AA series models while maintaining brightness superior to HHX and Artisan cymbals. Enhanced projection and extended sustain make this 20" size ideal for junior high through professional ensembles that require mid-bright articulation and projection at louder volume levels.

Construction & Response

Handcrafted from B20 cast bronze, the 22023X model responds evenly at all dynamic levels, though the 20" diameter naturally exhibits less sensitivity at softer dynamics compared to smaller suspended cymbals. The design yields enhanced complexity and rich sound quality suitable for both band and orchestral applications.
