These are part of the cymbal’s Holy China design.

Independent shopping perspective
Developed with Chad Smith, SABIAN’s 12-inch AA Mini Holy China brings Holy China volume, trash, and cut into a Mini Splash-format cymbal. Its high profile, single row of holes, and raw bell support a deliberately noise-forward character: more trash, less tonal definition, and boosted high-end white noise. It suits players adding a compact effects cymbal with the cutting Holy China sound associated with larger cymbals.
