  • Here's AMAZING sounding very versatile 20”!  And you don’t have to pay $400 for a guess at a stock photo. 

  • This Sabian is one of the most versatile cymbals you will find - and a lot of people aren’t familiar with the genius of these.  They just see the stock photo and a hyphen. 

  • And the AAX X-Plosion was one of Sabian’s “Cymbal Vote” winners. So it’s already been socially validated!  Wonderful! 

  • Fantastic condition 20” AAX X-Plosion Crash in the coveted Brilliant Finish weighing a perfect 2012 grams.

  • These AAX PLOSIONS are described as: 
    "A large, raw bell boosts the crash-ability factor in a cymbal that's equally at home performing light ride or heavy crash duty."

  • And that's accurate, except THIS particular 20” is actually fairly DARK sounding.

  • The tone is very well balanced. It's not bright, but it's not extremely dark either. It has a clean tone with darker leanings.

  • The Raw Bell is extremely cutting and this cymbal can make a magnificent Ride - but this 20” is not a brutish one-trick-pony.  Migrate down to the plain and as Sabian promises, this 20” is fantastic for light riding.

  • When played with a light touch it opens up well and remains smooth and mellow.

  • Crash on the edge and you get an incredible wall of white noise FULL DARK Crash that’s capable of silencing even the most obstreperous guitar player.

  • Killer FULL Crash tone that is Medium Thin in constitution. 
     
  • Add the glassiness of a shimmering Brilliant Finish and you have this incredibly versatile cymbal.

  • It really goes from low volumes to loud volumes with ease - mellow to metal. 

  • And therein lies the magic. Fairly dark with a strong projection AND still responsive - that's a very hard combination to find...but here it is.

  • No issues!!  Clean! Terrific shape. 

  • No need to pay $400 for a guess at what one sounds like. Have a listen to this exact 2012 gram beauty so that you can buy with confidence.
