Detail 01
Crash pack, not a full set
Crashes only. Your existing hats and ride carry over, so voicing across the whole kit won't fully match.

SABIANAAX X-Plosion Crash Cymbal Pack
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A multi-crash pack from SABIAN's AAX line, made in Canada. For drummers replacing starter crashes with matched, stage-ready cymbals in one purchase.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Moving past the crashes that came with a starter kit
- Drummers who want two crash pitches, not one
- Stage and studio work where cymbals get mic'd
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Beginners still deciding whether drumming sticks
- Anyone who needs hi-hats or a ride included
- Players who prefer hand-picking each cymbal by ear
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Cymbals from one series
They blend predictably with each other instead of two crashes fighting over the same frequency range.
Detail 03
Made in Canada
Produced at SABIAN's own plant rather than a licensed budget line. Unit-to-unit consistency is tight.
Detail 04
$734.99 for the pack
Professional-tier money. This is a buy-once decision, not a stepping stone you replace in a year.
Detail 05
Multiple crashes
Each one needs its own stand or boom arm. Most kits are short by at least one when the box arrives.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Stands, arms, felts and sleeves are not included
- 02Count your free cymbal arms before ordering, not after
- 03Get a padded cymbal bag; thin crash edges chip in transit
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Do hi-hats and a ride come with this?
No. It's a crash pack. You keep using your current hats and ride, or budget for those as a separate purchase.
02Will these match my existing SABIAN cymbals?
Not exactly. Different series are voiced differently, so they'll work together but won't blend as tightly as cymbals from within one series.
03Is this overkill for a beginner?
Financially, for most people yes. The cymbals won't hold anyone back — the risk is spending pro money before you know what sound you actually want.
04Where are these made?
Canada, at SABIAN's own factory.
