SABIAN 21416CS Chinese - 14" Natural
These explosive cymbals deliver a deliciously vintage, bright sound that takes you straight back to the 50s, 60s, and 70s. To paraphrase Chad Smith: AA are like the Beatles, Cream, and Hendrix. They’re from another era but still sound just as good.
The Sabian AA Holy China 14″ is an effect cymbal designed to deliver an immediate, punchy sonic impact despite its compact size. Part of the AA series—renowned for its raw energy and modernized vintage character—this Holy China stands out with its high profile, raw unlathed bell, and 12 rows of triple perforations. These design elements are not merely aesthetic; they profoundly transform the cymbal’s response, enhancing its speed, projection, and natural aggression.
Thanks to its small size, it fits easily into any setup, whether to complete a stack, enrich a compact kit, or add a cutting tonal color to a larger rig. Its 14″ diameter provides ultra-fast attack, very short sustain, and surprisingly powerful projection—ideal for dry accents and punctuations that need to cut through the mix effortlessly.
The presence of the triple holes—signature of the Holy series—further sharpens the edge of the tone, adding extra air and a very bright openness. The result is a cymbal that literally cuts through saturated guitars, dense keyboards, or busy arrangements while maintaining remarkable control.
