Developed in collaboration with Chad Smith, the Sabian 21916CS AA 19" Holy China Cymbal stands as the loudest cymbal in Sabian's entire range while maintaining the signature trashy tone that defines the Holy China series. This modern China cymbal represents the pinnacle of Sabian's innovation and forward-thinking design approach, creating a truly monstrous sound that cuts through any mix.
The cymbal's distinctive construction features a higher profile that raises the pitch, strategically placed holes that control volume and sustain, and a large unfinished bell designed for maximum cut and enhanced durability. The wide lip and high profile work together to produce exceptional loudness and cutting power that makes this cymbal a standout choice for demanding musical situations.
Smaller holes throughout the cymbal create a smooth attack while eliminating the low-end distortion typically associated with larger O-Zone holes. Crafted from pure Sabian B20 Cast Bronze, the Holy China combines traditional materials with innovative design elements to produce a cymbal that pushes the boundaries of what a China cymbal can achieve.
