The Sabian FRX Crash 17" is a frequency-optimized crash cymbal made of B20 bronze, with dark basic tone and approx. 25% less volume with full sound. The hand-hammered FRX cymbals are perfect for environments that require less volume and where conventional percussion cymbals are simply too powerful. Through certain drillings in the cymbal, frequencies are cut and compressed, which leads to a lower volume. No matter how hard the drummer plays on the Sabian FRX cymbals, the frequencies always fit perfectly in the mix. The volume peak when the cymbal is hit is significantly lower than with normal cymbals, while the sound remains fully balanced, as cutting and high-frequency tonesare simply lowered.
