The innovative design and technology made the AAX cymbals with new levels of brightness, cut and musicality, as well as a wide dynamic range. No wonder twenty years later the series remains one of the top-selling cymbal series.

Robert "Bob" Zildjian, founder of Sabian Cymbals, commented at the time:

"I challenged my guys to come up with something new, something that would shake up the drum industry. Cymbals had been made pretty much the same way for centuries, and it was time for a game-changer. I was confident they could do it – and from the first time I heard AAX, I knew we had it!"

Sabian's AAX series offers a wide range of models with different sounds: from X-Plosion Crashes and Fast Crashes to accurate and crisp X-Celerator Hats, or punchy, cutting Air Splashes. But no matter what model you pick, the modern bright tone of AAX cymbals stays clean, clear and accurate at any volume with a response that's always bright and crisp.

To celebrate twenty years of AAX, Sabian is offering special pricing on some of the most popular AAX Crashes through October 1, 2014. For complete details on this limited-time promotion, visit www.sabian.com
