Sabian 12″ AAX Aero Splash Brilliant
The Sabian 12″ AAX Aero Splash Brilliant captures crisp, cutting articulation with a fast decay that sits tight in dense mixes without masking kick and bass. Its compact size and responsive character make it ideal for layering textural accents or anchoring effect hits in multi-track sessions. The brilliant finish enhances projection and clarity across studio recordings and live tracking.
Construction & Materials
Built from B20 bronze alloy (80% copper, 20% tin with traces of silver), this cymbal provides the tonal consistency and workability that professional manufacturers demand. The multiple-small-hole pattern design is integral to the Aero series’ signature response, reducing mass strategically to achieve faster articulation and controlled sustain that translates well in isolation and mix.
Sonic Character
The 12″ splash format with Aero engineering produces a defined pitch and quick attack, cutting through dense arrangements without overwhelming kick, snare, or melodic content. The brilliant finish coating brightens the overall character, delivering enhanced clarity and presence that records cleanly at multiple mic distances and mic techniques.
