SABIAN AAX Rocktagon Crash Cymbal 18" (Model 21832X)

The SABIAN 21832X 18" AAX Rocktagon Crash is a bold, modern revival of one of SABIAN’s most iconic cymbal designs. Featuring the unmistakable 8-sided Rocktagon shape made famous in the 1980s, this updated version delivers an explosive, aggressive sound with contemporary refinement.

Designed with a thin crash weight, pinpoint lathing, and a raw, un-hammered bell, the AAX Rocktagon produces an immediate, nasty crash with a quick decay that cuts through dense mixes without overwhelming them. The thicker raw bell adds punch and clarity, making it equally effective for strong bell accents and dramatic effects.

Originally released as a Vault Drop cymbal, the Rocktagon was so well received that SABIAN brought it back as a full-time member of the AAX lineup, offering drummers a unique visual and sonic statement that stands out in any setup.
