i hated the artisan ride...looks nice, but other then that *big thumbs down*

I've finally decided on buying a sabian AAX 18" stage crash. i like the price at $155 and its loud, but it also sustains which is wot i was really lookin for. but before i do buy it (in a month or so) are there any complaints with this cymbal. such not sounding good with a genre, breakin easy, or anything along these lines. thaks alot

[QUOTE=forgottenDRUMMER]I would go with the HHX stage crash. The vaults are thin weight and teh HHX stages are Medium.[/QUOTE]


ok, 17" HHX stage or 17" aax stage?

[QUOTE=saars]ok, 17" HHX stage or 17" aax stage?[/QUOTE]

HHX. I dig the AAX stage too but go with the HHX man.

nope. Ive never had any problems with my stage crash. It cuts well with the music and is very versatile. I use it for all types of music and it sounds great.

so now that i've got a job i'll have money for real cymbals, so i just wanna know what cymbals would be best for Grunge/punk type of sound,im looking to spend what ever ill need to,i dont care what brand.

this might of been asked before but i can't find my answere so do any of you guys know ride chris alder uses? i know its a pa meinl and thats about it thanks for any feed back

Sucks though, I have no choice but to go for the AAX. I mean, if i tell my dad it's 175 USD he's gonna flip. He doesn't want me to spend that much money on an instrument I just started playing. What he doesn't understand is that I love drumming so much, I can't stand to quit drumming. Well, anyways, I'll get the AAX stage as an addition to my zxt crash, then buy the HHX (when the time comes) to replace the zxt.

To the couple ppl looking into AAX stage crashes, they are good cymbals for a good price, try them out and see what you think

to saars, that sounds like a good idea, the HHX stage crashes are real good too, darker though obviously (not necesarily a bad or good thing)

to phil.

22" k custom ride is the ride i believe your looking for.

18" HHX china
22" novo china

all the ones i can think of at the moment.

yeah, I listened to how dark it is on the sabian site, and I just love it!!

Zildjian A series. Not A custom. Just regular A's. Or Sabian AA's

well, i know it's a 24'' ride, and i know it's a mega bell ride. i think it's either a Byzance or an MB20. but i'm not sure if meinl puts out 24'' rides regularly, so it may be custom. go to [url]www.meinlcymbals.com[/url] and they have his set up listed there

I'm looking for two crisp, solid cutting yet musical crashes. Looking at Sabian AAXplosion or Zildjian A Custom Projection. Want two that would go nicely together, preferably 16" and 18". Any suggestions?

AAXplosions go nicely. I have the 18. I use my 18 with an aax stage crash and it goes ok. Im getting an AA medium thin 18inch though in the mail someitme soon. Ill let you know if they go well together.

alright thanks.

Its a 24" MB20 mega bell :) IIRC

What do you guys think is the best of the A custom rides? Like, with lots of versatility and all that good stuff.

Too bright. Avedis rides arent bad.

I'm looking for some decent crashes that are quite versatile but are used mainly for heavy metal.

What would be some general suggestions to look into for a more jazzy, light sound?

I have a 22" A Medium ride, which is a beast, I want something with a softer, shorter sound, if that makes any sense. Something jazzier...

20" Sabian Vault Artisan light ride

How are Sabian B8's?

And I'm looking for a relatively cheap china, trashy and quick with very little attack and stick definition.

would wuhans work? ^^^

24" MB20 mega bell, his setup is on the Meinl site.

I'm looking for a ride for rock/metal type stuff with a good bell and short sustain/wash if possible, and I already have plans for 15" AA regular hats and i have a 16" vault crash, if that helps at all.

AA raw bell dry ride.

Yes. Or perhaps HH RBDR. Depends on which flavour you prefer.
