Information

Essential Information About Sabian FRX Cymbals
• Designed for "too loud" environments : ideal when traditional cymbals overpower the mix (bars, churches, theaters, schools, ceremonies).
• High-end B20 alloy : a base comparable to the spirit of professional series like HHX/AAX, with a "normal" cymbal response.
• Control of frequencies perceived as aggressive : targeted reduction of the most intrusive lows and highs for the ear.
• Clear attack, short response : you can play without holding back, with a more controlled sustain than a traditional cymbal.

Historical Context and Positioning in the Range

The FRX series was designed to address a modern reality: more and more drummers play in venues where dynamics must be controlled without sacrificing the feel under the stick or the character of a true B20 alloy cymbal. Positioned as a "mix-friendly" alternative, the FRX clearly stands apart from a purely silent approach: the goal is not to mute the sound but to make it easier to integrate into acoustic environments, softly amplified settings, or those with strict volume constraints.

Who This Drum/Instrument Is For

The FRX cymbals are aimed at intermediate to expert drummers seeking a natural playing experience without technical adaptation, while reducing overall sound impact. They are particularly suited for styles where clarity and control are paramount: acoustic pop, accessible modern jazz, worship, variety, theater, light funk, small club sessions, and music school rehearsals. They are also relevant for musicians wanting to rethink their sound and explore more "airy" aesthetics without giving up a true cymbal attack.

Questions frequently asked

What is the sound level of the Sabian FRX1806 18-inch Crash?

The perforations distributed across the cymbal reduce certain low and high frequencies, resulting in a more controlled projection than a traditional cymbal. The attack remains clear, while the sustain is shortened.

Is the FRX 18 Crash suitable for a church or theater?

This model is designed for venues where traditional cymbals are too powerful, including churches, theaters, bars, and music schools. Its more controlled sound makes it easier to integrate at moderate volume levels.

What is the thickness of this FRX crash?

This 18-inch crash features an extra thin profile, combined with a fast response and a short note.

What alloy is used for the Sabian FRX 18-inch?

Manufactured from B20 bronze, it provides a rich tone and a broad harmonic palette. Hand hammering contributes to the sound texture, while the bell offers a character similar to the AAX dark series.

Does the perforation affect the playing feel?

The perforated design influences projection and note duration without requiring a particular technical adjustment. It is thus possible to maintain usual striking dynamics, with accents that fade more quickly. This construction aims for easier control in a reverberant space.
