Condition: Unplayed – Opened only to photograph

Retail: $309.99
Listed by Nick’s Drum Gear – Collector-Grade Cymbals, Professionally Curated – Home of the STR Rating
Overview
The 16" Sabian AAX Thin Crash (Brilliant) delivers a fast, explosive response in a smaller, more controlled format — ideal for tight accents, quick phrasing, and layered cymbal setups.
With Sabian’s updated AAX hammering and a smaller raw bell design, this cymbal speaks instantly, with a bright top-end shimmer and added tonal complexity underneath.
This example is unplayed and in mint, opened only for photos. The darker bell is factory raw finish, not wear.

Nick’s Notes
The 16" is where these AAX crashes really start to feel fast and precise.
This is a great top-side accent cymbal or secondary crash — it opens instantly and gets out of the way just as quickly. Pairs perfectly with an 18" or 19" as your main crash.
If you're building a modern setup, this is one of those “always useful” sizes.
Shipping
