Sabian 10″ AA Mini Holy China
The 10″ AA Mini Holy China delivers the trash and cut of a full-sized Holy China in an agile, compact format. Designed with Chad Smith, this cymbal punches well above its weight class—a true mini-monster of volume and articulation that cuts through any mix. The exaggerated high profile and raw bell generate serious cutting power, producing the type of high-end white noise typically associated with much larger cymbals.
Sound & Character
Engineered for boosted trash and reduced tonal character, this cymbal prioritizes white noise and cutting attack over sustain. The extra-thin AA profile combined with the raw bell and hole configuration creates a brighter, more aggressive response—ideal for studio sessions and live tracking where maximum cut and presence in the overhead mix is essential without sacrificing the compact size.
Design & Construction
The exaggerated high profile with 10 rows of 3 holes and raw bell work together to maximize cutting power in a 10″ splash format. At just 262 grams, the lightweight extra-thin construction keeps the cymbal responsive while delivering disproportionate volume and articulation—perfect for capturing aggressive, articulate transients during recording sessions.
