Sabian AA Spotlight 18" Crash Cymbal
Discover a cymbal that redefines versatility and dynamic expression. This 18-inch crash, a standout piece from the renowned AA series, offers a unique blend of sonic characteristics that make it suitable for a vast array of musical genres. Crafted in close collaboration with drumming innovator Jojo Mayer, it is designed to be exceptionally responsive and to deliver a truly linear response, sounding full and consistent at every volume level, from the softest touch to the most powerful strike.
A Complex and Musical Voice
The sound profile is distinctively dark, complex, and carries a slightly "dirty" character that adds immense personality to your setup. It walks the line between a crash and a ride, providing a powerful, explosive accent when crashed, yet offering excellent stick definition and a shimmering wash when used for rhythmic patterns. This dual-purpose nature makes it an incredibly efficient and inspiring tool for any drummer looking to expand their sonic palette without expanding their hardware footprint.

This legendary material is known for its ability to produce a wide range of rich, complex overtones and ensures durability for performance after performance. Its thin weight allows for a quick, explosive response that decays smoothly, blending perfectly into the music.
