Sabian 17" AAX X-Treme Chinese Brilliant Finish

The 17" AAX X-Treme Chinese combines a thin weight profile (999g) with Auto-Focus Response technology and Brilliant finish, delivering fast attack, penetrating definition, and rapid decay that ensures presence even in dense ensemble settings. Its oriental punch and modern bright character are specifically designed to dominate high-volume environments.

No—this cymbal is voiced specifically for hard rock, metal, and punk. Its aggressive fast attack and cutting presence make it less suitable for jazz, folk, or worship music, where subtlety and warm tone characteristics are typically preferred.

The AAX X-Treme Chinese is built for intermediate, advanced, and professional drummers who understand cymbal dynamics and can leverage its fast, open response. Its responsiveness across dynamic ranges rewards intentional stick control and technique.

At 999g, this thin-weight cymbal responds instantly to stick attack and sits comfortably in the hand while remaining stable under sustained volume. The lightweight construction makes it responsive across dynamic ranges without sacrificing projection in loud settings.

The Sabian 17" AAX X-Treme Chinese cymbal is covered by a Sabian Two-Year Warranty. No additional items are included; this is the cymbal only.
