Sabian AA Cymbals

Want to play a piece of history? Pick up an AA cymbal, part of the Sabian series of Vintage cymbals. The AA line was one of the first two cymbal lines made by Sabian, as well as the first ever machine-made bell-bronze cymbal, which created a brighter sound than ever known before in the percussion world.

Adrian Erlandsson of Cradle of Filth is a huge fan of classic AA cymbals, using six cymbals from the Metal-X line of AA cymbals in his drum kit, ranging from 14" to 20". Jimmy "The Rev" Sullivan of Avenged Sevenfold is also an AA user combining AAX and HH cymbals with his 18" Metal-X Crash cymbal.

AA cymbals are perfect for old school sound. Whether you play rock, jazz, funk or blues, playing AA cymbals is the absolute best choice. Pick up a set today to play like your heroes!

AA cymbals are made of traditional bell bronze alloys, called B20. B20 alloy is made of 80% copper and 20% tin, with traces of silver. Because of the high percentage of tin in the cymbal's alloy, as compared against beginner's cymbals like the B8 Pro, which uses only 8% tin, AA cymbals deliver the perfect amount of crisp focus, giving you all the control you need.

AA cymbals sound bright, with pitch that ranges from mid to high levels. The line can be found in both natural and brilliant finishes which means that you can choose to use either a high-polished, smooth sound or a natural, rough sound.
