Sabian10" AAX Air Splash

Sounds good along with the same in the natural finish

This cymbal has a nice bite to it. It's quick in response and decay but very musical and can be surprisingly dynamic. It isn't a "loud" cymbal but it cuts through nicely. It has a trashy sound but it is more smooth than dirty if that makes sense. This is currently one of my main cymbals. It blends great with my AAX and HHX array. I have it in brilliant on one kit and traditional on my main kit. The sound only varies slightly and they both look great. Sound variation you'll find is common between cymbals when you buy duplicates of most brands but Sabian does a good job with keeping it as close as you'll find. I recommend this for sure.

Had a 12" Zildjian splash that, through years of use, abuse, moves, and gigs, had cracked around the bell to where it was only holding on by 3mm of metal on one side and maybe 10 mm on the opposite side, which gave that cymbal a reall cool trashy-splash sound... great color... well after 15 years of it holding together like that, it finally gave up the ghost. I found videos of this one and loved the tone and projection. It looks awesome with my kit and gives me the great trashy splash sound I was looking for, with a bit of a brighter, crispier sound! Love it!

This is a great addition to the AAX family. It’s very musical, has a fast response and decay. These are a bit more alive than the Aero splashes and they blend nicely with HHX line. I have this 10” in brilliant as well. They are very close in character but the traditional finish seems a tad more trashy sounding. I highly recommend this cymbal.

I auditioned one of these at Guitar Center, loved it, more than any splash in the store (save for the Sabian AAX "AIR" splash, that was too loud for my purposes).I knew I should buy the one at the store, as cymbals can vary, but I went home, and ordered one from Amazon..it DID NOT compare to the GC one.So I took my Amazon cymbal to the Guitar Center (a 90 mile drive), and played the two of them for the drum tech, a dept manager, and my wife.All three said the GC version blew away the Amazon one...it had a higher, clean tone, and more sustain.The one I bought online, sounded clunky and cheap.Amazon however, allowed me, no questions asked, to return the cymbal, and even paid the shipping back, with NO re-stock fee...AWESOME!So I will buy from Amazon again without hesitation, but probably not another cymbal...they are as individual as humans, and need to be heard.

Light. Bright. Sharp and crisp when struck but doesn't linger and ring loudly. Undertones remain quiet. Excellent sound.

This is the second cymbal I get from the AAX line, being the first one a Sabian 16" crash AXX Xplosion.In this case, this 16" AXX China is not as loud and thrashy I was expecting.I was waiting for a big sounding cymbal, to do accents but it wasn`t the case with this one. In fact it sound less powerful than a Sabian 16" China I had from the Pro series, which in my opinion was pretty loud and incredibly thrashy. Just for the record I don`t play metal, but I do play progrock so I need from time to time a big sounding china, as I said, to make a statement or full stop during a song.Better luck next time but the best advice I can give is to test them before in order to verify if that's the sound you're really looking for. It looks like the AAX series is too light for me.

My husband is a drummer and I bought him this for Christmas. I was a little surprised when I saw how small this cymbal is, and so was he, but he played it right away and the sound is very interesting. He said it’s not a cymbal you would play a lot, but if adds and interesting dynamic when used occasionally.

Il Piatto china AAX da 18' è arrivato con dei piccoli difetti di fabbricazione, un classico quando compri piatti di marca interessante alla metà del prezzo, tuttavia l'avrei tenuto se il suono fosse stato all'altezza dei miei Crash aax, ma purtroppo SABIAN non ha fatto un buon lavoro con questo china, (almeno per le mie orecchie) troppo sustain e troppo invasivo, quindi lo rispedito indietro.

I needed to add this kind of sound to my drum set without spending 200$+ and I must admit that I am super happy with the result! This is perfect for new drummer trying to expand their kit without spending to mutch!

Il massimo per chi vuole un suono potente, brillante e con tantissimo sustain! Sabian è il top!

Excelente plato. Explosivo y muy musical. Además es muy vistoso, precioso.

I love this splash! Very nice for my rock band!
