Sabian 19" AA Holy China Cymbal
Developed with Chad Smith (Red Hot Chili Peppers), the 19" AA Holy China is a genuine monster of loudness and cut — the loudest cymbal in Sabian's entire roster. This is not a cymbal for the faint of heart: the combination of 51 holes, a large raw bell, high profile, and wide lip creates a uniquely explosive package unlike anything else in Sabian's lineup.

Player Notes
Sabian itself describes this as "not for the faint of heart" and the loudest cymbal in its entire catalog — this is a deliberate extreme, built for players who specifically want maximum volume and trash rather than a balanced, musical china. The smaller 10" Mini Holy China above shares the same design philosophy in a more manageable size.
