Description

Biting fast crash straight from the popular AAX Series. Incredibly versatile and adaptable. The X-Plosion Fast Crash has an immediate explosive attack that gets out of the way quickly so you can continue doing your thing. It responds quickly even to the most subtle stroke. The 18 X-Plosion Fast Crash sounds more full louder and darker than the smaller Fast Crashes in the series. Much thinner than the regular X-Plosion series the attack is bright and cutting with a smooth and quick decay. Huge waves of bright explosive sound decays quickly for big powerful accents. Super versatile it can be played in almost any modern musical style. The 18 X-Plosion Fast Crash also features a wide expressive dynamic range so it sounds beautiful in both quiet and loud situations. A superb all-around crash cymbal. For a complete set of sonically matched AAX cymbals the 18 X-Plosion Fast Crash is also available as part of the AAX X-Plosion Fast Pack.

Sabian

Sabian is one of the world’s leading cymbal manufacturers, known for combining traditional craftsmanship with modern innovation. Founded in 1981 by Robert Zildjian after the famous split in the Zildjian family, Sabian quickly established itself as a major force in cymbal design. Based in Canada, the brand built its reputation by working closely with drummers and constantly evolving its sound, rather than sticking rigidly to tradition.

Sabian cymbals are known for their versatility, offering everything from bright, cutting models for rock and metal to darker, more complex tones suited to jazz and studio work. Popular ranges include AA, AAX, HH, and HHX, each designed to deliver different tonal characteristics, from modern projection to vintage warmth. Sabian also produces a wide variety of effects cymbals, splash cymbals, chinas, and stacks, allowing drummers to expand their sound and create unique textures.

What Sabian does particularly well is giving drummers choice and control. Their cymbals respond consistently, project clearly, and sit well in a mix, whether live or in the studio. For drummers looking to shape their own sound with a wide palette of tones and modern design, Sabian remains one of the most flexible and forward-thinking cymbal brands available.
