Frequency-tuned Pro Cymbals with Soft Case

Looking for a pro cymbal set without the clang and tang of traditional cymbals? You'll find it here in the Sabian FRX Performance Cymbal Set from Sweetwater. Micro-perforations near the bell and along the edge of Sabian FRX series cymbals subdue offensive overtones without significantly impacting cymbal volume or range. This makes Sabian FRX cymbals solid contenders for smaller stages, houses of worship, pit orchestras, and close-miking applications. Sabian's lightweight B20 construction gives the FRX series a tone and response that players will enjoy at home, onstage, and at all sound levels.

What's included?

  • 14" FRX Hats — Hi-hats have a way of dominating a mix. But not Sabian's extra-thin FRX hi-hats. These cymbals are fully dynamic yet specially tuned to keep from taking over. You get crisp, clean definition and controlled projection.
  • 16" and 18" FRX Crashes — Extra-thin Sabian FRX crash cymbals are fully dynamic yet specially tuned to keep from poking through a mix. These crashes boast a quick, shimmering response and an exquisitely soft feel.
  • 21" FRX Ride — If your current ride is causing headaches in your band, you'll enjoy the dark, defined attack and buttery-smooth wash of the 21" Sabian FRX Ride.

Frequency limited, not volume reduced

As drummers, we devote a good deal of time and energy to taming our kits: damping toms, muffling kick drums, and trying to mask and subdue cymbals with gels, tapes, and clever miking. The Sabian FRX series works in settings where other cymbals may be too bold, such as intimate gatherings and recording applications. Sabian FRX professional cymbals are not volume reduced — just frequency limited. Micro-perforations near the bell and along the edge reduce unwanted overtones for better seating among an ensemble. This same technology gives FRX cymbals a smooth, defined response that will delight players of discerning tastes. Get control over your cymbals with the Sabian FRX series from Sweetwater.

Lightweight B20 bronze construction

Every cymbal in the Sabian FRX series begins with Sabian's guarded B20 bronze recipe, unmatched for dynamics and musical expression. Dark, rich, and luxurious, the FRX Performance Cymbal Set is one you'll keep on your kit in and out of season.

Sabian FRX Performance Cymbal Set Features:

  • 4-piece cymbal set plus 24" soft case
  • Specially tuned to control overtones
  • Fully dynamic, yet frequency controlled
  • Crafted from rich, dark, expressive B20 bronze
  • Not a practice cymbal set
  • Not volume reduced
  • Ideal for smaller stages, houses of worship, pit orchestras, and close-miking applications

FRX Series

I play consistently with my church worship team and purchased a full set of the FRX series cymbals for my personal setup. There is quite a difference between these and the church's Zildjian K Customs, notably in the feel and perceived volume. These cymbals sit very well in the mix and mic up very nicely.

I can't speak enough of these cymbals, hands down one of the best investments I've made in musical instruments!

Awsome!

One of the main challenges as a drummer is allowing other instruments and vocals to thrive in the mix. These cymbals do that.
Music background: Rock, reggae, blues, funk, alternative and more!

These really make a difference

Hi, I'm not a drummer and I didn't personally buy these, but I've heard them and really appreciate these FRX cymbals. My church bought these. I play guitar/bass/keys and mix audio there. These cymbals made a big difference. We are in a sanctuary with a wooden A-frame roof and treated walls. It seats 250-300. Before these cymbals, either the cymbals would dominate the mix or we'd need to mix louder than the congregation wanted in order to compensate. Now, I'm running the overhead mics 10-15 db higher and have control over the sound. They are not harsh and don't get in the way of vocals and lead instruments. Our 3 drummers love them. They feel they can truly play them instead of constantly holding back. The ride is sweet and has a good variety of sounds. The crashes get out of the way. The hats are nice, great chick and usable open without being obnoxious. Even the bells are usable.

These fit our situation very well. Well done, Sabian!

Worth the money

I just received my cymbals and these things are amazing! I play in a professional worship band and this is the sound I"ve been searching for. Super warm and dry and they wash beautifully in the music. These are not quiet cymbals, they just don"t have all the annoying, bright high end overtones that people complain about. Highly recommended if that"s the sound you need.
I ordered the 18" and 19" crashes and the 20" ride. The crashes sound amazing with a super buttery feel. The 20" ride sounds great when played on the bow or the bell. It also sounds awesome as a crash/ride.
