Sabian 12" AAX O-Zone Splash

Sabian 12" AAX O-Zone Splash

The Sabian 12" AAX O-Zone Splash delivers a bright, cutting response with minimal sustain—ideal for cymbal players seeking definition in tight musical spaces. Six 1" perforations cut through the thin bronze, creating a sharp attack and quick decay that works equally well in jazz, fusion, and contemporary contexts. This hand-crafted splash commands attention without dominating the kit.

Construction & Materials

Built from premium B20 bronze (80% copper with silver, 20% tin) using hand-operated machine-hammered construction, this cymbal combines traditional metallurgy with precision shaping. The extra-thin weight and perforated design maximize responsiveness while maintaining the tonal integrity B20 bronze is known for.

Sonic Character

The six strategically placed holes reduce mass and accelerate the decay, producing a tight, pingy splash with minimal wash—perfect for defined articulation and cut-through in dense musical arrangements. The natural finish preserves the raw character of the bronze, contributing to the cymbal's focused, brilliant voice.
