Sabian 17" FRX Crash Cymbal
The 17" FRX Crash is a pro-level, extra-thin B20 bronze crash delivering quick, shimmering response and an exceptionally soft feel. Sabian FRX (Frequency Reduced) cymbals are built for playing environments where other cymbals have too much attack — but they are NOT low-volume cymbals. Instead, FRX works by cutting specific frequencies that shape the perception of volume. Remove those frequencies, and this crash sits perfectly in a mix no matter how hard you play — no compromise, no holding back.
Key Benefits

Player Notes
Pairs naturally with the 14" FRX Hats above for a matched, volume-sensitive setup — both share the same Frequency Reduced design philosophy, letting you build a full FRX kit rather than mixing one FRX piece into an otherwise standard setup.
