Key Features
Mini size, loud and distinct sound. The Sabian AA 12'' Mini Chinese Cymbal is trashy and bright. It's perfect for quick accents or playing straight grooves with a more defined tone. The attack is explosive and biting, with a decay that is quick but not immediate. The AA Mini Chinese cymbal is the ideal splash if you're looking for something versatile to add to your drum kit.

The Sabian AA 12'' Mini Chinese Cymbal is crafted using Sabian's B20 bronze recipe, consisting of 80% copper, 20% tin, and traces of silver. This is commonly used on high-end cymbals for its excellent frequency range, making it suitable for a wide range of musical styles.
Hammered using traditional techniques, the Sabian AA series is both versatile and full of character. Traditional coarse lathing is applied by Vault Craftsmen, which is one contributing factor to the vintage tone offered by AA cymbals. High-profile shaping raises the pitch, giving AA cymbals more cut, while further small-peen hammering increases stick response. The result is cymbals that offer a vintage inspired sound with enough cut for versatile, modern use.
