Extra-thin Sabian FRX crash cymbals are fully dynamic yet specially tuned to keep from poking through a mix. There's no need to pull punches with the FRX series: micro-perforations near the bell subdue offensive overtones without significantly impacting volume or range. This makes Sabian FRX crashes solid contenders for smaller stages, houses of worship, pit orchestras, and close-miking applications. Sabian's lightweight B20 construction gives the 16" FRX Crash a quick, shimmering response and an exquisitely soft feel that players will enjoy at home, onstage, and at all sound levels.
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. A series of micro-perforations near the bell reduces 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.
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 16" FRX Crash will be a cymbal you keep on your kit in and out of season.
