Sabian 20" AAX Aero Crash – Fast Response, Cutting Projection

The Sabian AAX Aero Crash 20" brings a genuinely new construction concept to the crash cymbal category. It combines the raw bell geometry borrowed from the AAX X-Plosion with a strategically placed hole pattern across the bow — reducing mass, accelerating response, and shaping a sound that opens quickly and projects cleanly without turning washy.

Key Features

• Diameter: 20 inches
• Series: AAX – select B20 bronze alloy, brilliant finish
• Raw AAX X-Plosion bell design for a direct, articulate attack
• Innovative hole pattern that lightens the bow and speeds up the crash response
• Optimized balance between full frequency content and sharp cut
• One of three distinct Aero Crash sizes, each voiced differently

Ideal For

This cymbal is built for drummers who need a crash that registers clearly in loud, dense musical settings — rock, metal, worship, or theatrical pit work. The 20" size sits in a sweet spot: it has enough body to sustain through a band mix while the hole pattern keeps the decay controlled and the attack upfront. It works equally well in the studio when you want a crash that sits in the track rather than covering it.
