With a name like X-Plosion Crash, you know this cymbal arrives bursting with energy. This power-driven cymbal gets things going right from the box with a bright, explosive attack that delivers penetrating definition with more presence and darker tones. It's an ideal cymbal choice for all types of pop music including styles ranging from the more melodic to funky, groove-based tunes to all-out power ballads.

Some of the more notable pop drummers who play Sabain cymbals include Daniel Adair (Nickelback), Brain Frasier-Moore (Madonna), Dave Langguth (Nelly Furtado), Phil Collins (Genesis, solo) Keith Harris (Black-Eyed Peas) and Rodney Howard (Avril Lavigne).

The medium-thin X-Plosion Crash is crafted of premium B20 bronze alloy with a brilliant finish, precise hammering detail and pinpoint lathing that all combine to create it's dynamic auto-focus response. That simply means the X-Plosion Crash plays evenly at lower volumes and the volume increases the harder you play it.

The cymbal is designed to be modern and extremely efficient with a sensitive response that equalizes mid to low pitches in its range and purifies sound by filtering out distracting and conflicting overtones. The AAX's signature "Dynamic Focus" design ensures optimum response at all volume levels from lowest to loudest and provides a pure sound that remains consistent across the wide expanse of the music spectrum.
