Get to know them!





Extra-thin Sabian FRX crash cymbals are fully dynamic yet specially tuned to keep from poking through a mix. There's no need to pull punches with the FRX series: micro-perforations near the bell subdue offensive overtones without significantly impacting volume or range. This makes Sabian FRX crashes solid contenders for smaller stages, houses of worship, pit orchestras, and close-miking applications. Sabian's lightweight B20 construction gives the 17" FRX Crash a quick, shimmering response and exquisitely soft feel that players will enjoy at home, onstage, and at all sound levels.

What’s So Great About Buying Drums from Sweetwater?


Frequency limited, not volume reduced





As drummers, we devote a good deal of time and energy to taming our kits: damping toms, muffling kick drums, and trying to mask and subdue cymbals with gels, tapes, and clever miking. The Sabian FRX series works in settings where other cymbals may be too bold, such as intimate gatherings and recording applications. Sabian FRX professional cymbals are not volume reduced ? just frequency limited. A series of micro-perforations near the bell reduces unwanted overtones for better seating among an ensemble. This same technology gives FRX cymbals a smooth, defined response that will delight players of discerning tastes. Get control over your cymbals with the Sabian FRX series from Sweetwater.





Lightweight B20 bronze construction





Every cymbal in the Sabian FRX series begins with Sabian's guarded B20 bronze recipe, unmatched for dynamics and musical expression. Dark, rich, and luxurious, the 17" FRX Crash will be a cymbal you keep on your kit in and out of season.
