SABIAN 16" AA Marching

SABIAN 16" AA Marching Cymbals

These 16" AA Marching hand cymbals deliver the projection and cutting power that cuts cleanly through dense arrangements without sacrificing musicality. The medium-heavy weight provides substantial presence in the hand with balanced response across dynamic range, making them equally suitable for layering into mix work or stacked cymbal configurations. The bright, full-bodied character sits distinctly in a mix when tracked in the studio or used as supplemental percussion elements.

Tone & Mix Placement

Built from B20 bronze alloy, these cymbals produce a bright, sustained voice with the full-bodied resonance characteristic of SABIAN's AA series. The medium-heavy weight ensures reliable cut across the frequency spectrum while maintaining clear articulation when captured with microphones or played with sticks and mallets in recording sessions.

Recording & Production Flexibility

Available in both regular and brilliant finishes, the 16" diameter sizing provides expanded tonal options for percussion layering, overdub sessions, and rhythmic color in studio arrangements. The durable B20 construction is protected by SABIAN's two-year warranty, providing confidence in long-term studio reliability and consistent tone across extended recording projects.
