Description
Sabian 10" AAX O-Zone Splash
The Sabian 10" AAX O-Zone Splash captures bright, airy responses with a quick, cutting attack that sits clearly in any mix at any volume level. This extra-thin splash produces articulate articulation and shimmer characteristic of the AAX series' modern bright sound profile. The compact 10" size works as a secondary splash for layering textures or as a primary voice in drum recordings where space is tight or you're tracking multiple kits simultaneously.
Tone & Sonic Character
The O-Zone multi-hole design creates a bright, breathing character with articulate attack across all recording scenarios and volume levels. B20 bronze construction combined with AAX Auto-Focus technology delivers the crisp, clear, and cutting responses that define the AAX series' modern bright aesthetic, translating to recordings that punch through dense production without harshness.

This extra-thin cymbal features a natural finish and is engineered with the distinctive six 38 mm holes that characterize the O-Zone line.
