Sabian Introduces AAXtreme Chinese Cymbal
 January 28, 1998Sabian Ltd. is pleased to announce the introduction of the AAXtreme Chinese. Available in 15", 17", and 19" everything about these cymbals is pushing the boundaries of Chinese cymbal making.
Utilizing Sabian's exclusive AAX Auto Focus Response, these odd sized models are heavily hammered utilizing a unique double hammering process which "stiffens" the cymbal to take extreme abuse while maintaining the response traditional with a thin Chinese. Incorporating a large bell, a high profile bow, and an exaggerated and pronounced lip, they are full-bodied, providing thick, focused, industrial "white" noise sounds.
"The intensity of today's music is as prominent as ever. In addition to providing time, drummers are called upon to color and enhance the musical pallets of the bands," commented Sabian Director of Marketing, David Via. "With these cymbals we have provided the skate-boarding, rock-climbing, mountain biking, generation X drummers with cymbals full of energy, vitality and intensity that is demanded today. Never before have sounds with so much grit been available." For more information, visit their web site at http://www.sabian.com. |
