Description
The SABIAN AA Holy China isn’t a subtle cymbal — it’s built to dominate a mix. Developed with Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith, this 19″ model is engineered specifically for extreme loudness and cut, earning its reputation as the loudest cymbal in the entire SABIAN AA lineup.
What gives it that explosive character? A combination of design choices working together: 51 holes drilled into the 19″ bell, a large raw bell left unlathed for aggression, a high profile for extra volume, and a wide lip that shapes the attack and decay. Together, these elements produce a sound that’s sharp, trashy, and impossible to ignore — not intended for players who want a delicate, blended china sound.
This cymbal carries the AA series’ signature bright, vintage-inspired tone, tuned for genres built on energy and edge — rock, funk, blues, and jazz all benefit from that classic SABIAN brightness. The Brilliant finish adds a polished, mirror-like look to match its bold voice.
