Sabian AA 21216CS Mini 12inch Holy China Cymbal

The Sabian AA Mini Holy China cymbal packs explosive power into a compact format that defies its size. This Chad Smith signature cymbal earned multiple awards upon its 2010 launch as the original AA Holy China, establishing itself as a monster of loudness and cut that satisfied drummers seeking a unique and explosive China sound.

In 2017, Sabian compressed all the volume, trash and cut of the Holy China into this mini–China format. Featuring an exaggerated high profile, rows of small holes and a raw bell, the "Mini Holy" cuts more aggressively than any other cymbal of comparable size.

Built for boosted trash and reduced tonal character, the Mini Holy China achieves its cutting power through perceived loudness rather than higher decibels, similar to a highly compressed music track. This innovative Sabian design produces high–end white noise typically found only in much larger cymbals, making it ideal for drummers who want huge cut in a mini–China splash format.

Available in 8", 10" and 12" sizes with natural or brilliant finish options, the AA Mini Holy China represents Sabian’s commitment to creating the widest, most innovative range of sounds available, giving drummers greater choice in crafting their signature sound.
