China & Effects Cymbals

Using trickle down technology gleaned from years of developing some of the world’s top selling cymbals lines like Evolution, Legacy, and even Artisan, SABIAN HHX Complex has redefinied the modern sound. With Hand Hammered and HHX hammering techniques, HHX Complex O-Zone Chinas deliver dark, raw, aggressive bite, while employing SABIAN's historic, innovative 2-hole design pattern to amplify the characteristic trashy sound you would expect . The combination of the traditional China profile together with SABIAN's O-Zone holes is the ultimate Chinese cymbal design.

This special effects crash cymbal has a unique set of laser generated "cut outs" that allow it to produce a quick, dry and trashy sound used for accenting and punctuating. The brilliant finish makes this "must have" shimmer like any A Custom.
The choice of renowned rock, metal and fusion drummers, A Customs feature a brilliant finish and radical new hammering techniques that deliver a crisp, sweet, sophisticated A Zildjian sound, but with a contemporary feel. A Customs are not too dark and not too bright with a fast response and clean attack.

Designed with Chad Smith, all the volume, trash and cut of the Holy China is now available in a China Splash format. With its exaggerated high profile, single row of holes and raw bell, the 10" AA Mini Holy China cuts better than any other cymbal its size.

Thinner than a cup chime or ice bell, but much thicker than a splash, the 7” AA MAX Chime sounds great on its own or you can mount it upside down on top of other cymbals like Mike does. Crisp, clear and well defined while also fitting in with any melody. 

Strong "China" sound. Medium decay. High-pitched.
Zildjian's classic sound is embodied by A Zildjian and immortalized in countless recordings by the greatest drummers of all time. Known for their versatility, these bright cymbals range from paper thin and delicate to extra heavy and cutting. Recent adjustments were made to the curvature and weights of many current models to capture the sweet spot of the classic A sound, producing crashes, rides, and hats that reflect today's musical styles.

With a double 6-hole ring of response-enhancing holes, the 16" B8X O-Zone responds rapidly with a combination of bright explosion and dirty agitation.

By using a B10 bronze alloy that has a higher content of tin than the standard Classics Series cymbals, high-tech computerized manufacturing, and a brilliant finish the new MEINL Classics Custom cymbals deliver outstanding sound qualities with a stunning, modern look. They deliver rich, musical sounds for ambitious rock and heavy drummers.

The Byzance Brilliant 18” Trash China has a vigorous attack note delivering trashy cut along with shimmering sustain backed by complex tone. Hole cut-outs allow the china to roar to life and decay quickly for faster accents. The result is a classic brilliant cymbal loaded with bite.

The different sizes and shapes of the cut-outs gives the cymbal a unique look and a wide spread and a trashy, noisy sound. Recommended for quick accents and punctuations.
