Sabian's Description: <<< - >>>
Review: "We set up all of the review effects on a forest of stands for direct comparison. The Aero splashes are derived from Sabian’s Air splashes, but with one major difference: the added holes. With a whopping 24 and 36 holes respectively, and measuring approx 11mm in diameter, it begs the questions: are these the actions of a disgruntled drill press operator, and where’s the rest of the cymbal?
We soon stop pondering such superficial details as both the 10" and 12" cymbals sound fantastic. The unlathed bell and sieve-like holes combine to produce a perfect balance of traditional splash and white noise in a way that remains smooth. They’re thin enough to open up at lower velocities, but strong enough that they never feel fragile."

Review: "There are quite a few splashes offered by the Sabian AAX Series: in addition to the more traditional ones for drummers who prefer the classic style, there are the Air Splash and Aero Splash designed for innovative drummers. Both feature a raw bell to improve stick response; the Air has 6 holes on its surface, while the Aero has 12. Therefore, low mass provides an immediate splash effect and an instant attack."
