14" aax-celerators.

[QUOTE=spike9908;14037287]I'm looking for a quick, bright, cutting china. Like a small, less boomy version of the 18" AA, but brighter. Not Wuhan as I don't have anywhere nearby that stocks them.[/QUOTE]

i thought wuhans were dark...

Ops on HHX Evolution Crashes.

AAX-Celerators are now coming in 15" sizes same with HHX-Celerators.

ohh i cant wait for the AAXplosion crash in 20 inch. also coming soon

Im looking for a 3rd splash. Something bright and cutting, with little to no sustain, for accenting and such. And also, O-zone sabian cymbals, how do these sound? Are they any good or just novelty

[QUOTE=bobby__johnny;5996724]Clean Thread.

Basically, you describe the sound your looking for, and the other members will try their best to find a cymbal to match.

example:

[b]Q:[/b]I want a crash that will stand up to live, unmiced metal, but not sound dead or unmusical.

[b]A:[/b]AAX Metal Crash

Jim, if you could sticky this, and close the old one please? :thumb:[/QUOTE]

alright. found a 20" ZILDJIAN ZXT TITANIUM MEDIUM RIDE CYMBAL. im really bad wth zildjian sounds, but great with sabian ones. c you give me a ride that sounds as similar as you can get to that cymbal. thnks a lot. any extra info n the ride would be great too. :chug: thanks

[quote=FL3P;14068906]Do you mean 9"?[/quote]
Nope, 7", he said he wanted little to no sustain and a very bright sound.

Do they make a 7" though?

XS20 14" Rock Hats - $50 US
 

i currently found some rock hats for $50 US. i really like the sound of AA regulars 14" but dont have the cash for them. are these any good, and what sabian cymbal has a close sound to these hats. :chug:

[quote=FL3P;14069188]Do they make a 7" though?[/quote]
Yeah man. 7", 9", 11". I remember that being mentioned in an issue of MD.

I personally like XS hats, quite a bit actually. I'd say go for it.

[QUOTE=George;14072158]I personally like XS hats, quite a bit actually. I'd say go for it.[/QUOTE]

I have some, they arent too shabby. A bit clangy sounding when opened, but still pretty good hats

[QUOTE=Drum Phil;14071198]They told me that wouldnt work.[/QUOTE]

that what wouldnt work

A 20" AAXplosion would lose most of the qualities that made it an AAXplosion.

I tried to order one last year instead of my 19.

ohh. i wonder how much difference the 18 and 19 really are from eachother. i would like to hear them side by side.

He asked for melodic.

[QUOTE=Aaron;14074203]He asked for melodic.[/QUOTE]

okay, how about a piano then? :rolleyes:

How about 13" HHX Stage Hats or 14" Sig SEs or any sized Ufip Class-series hats?

[QUOTE=TTTSNB;14071591]Yeah man. 7", 9", 11". I remember that being mentioned in an issue of MD.[/QUOTE]

Ive seen n the 9 and 11 but nothing of the 7 yet. I did notice the new A Custom EFX crashes though. I might just have to try one of those!

14" Paiste Alpha Power Hi-hat Cymbals
 

i currently these hats. how are they? if you can gimme sabian hats that sound the closest to these that be great. thanks. :chug:

How would you describe them? No two cymbal makes sounds the same, but there are similarities, so it's easiest to match to taste.

[QUOTE=Aaron;14080590]How would you describe them? No two cymbal makes sounds the same, but there are similarities, so it's easiest to match to taste.[/QUOTE]

i know that no 2 cymbals will sound EXACTLY the same. i just wanna kno some sabain hats that have a similar sound and perform some-what the same. also, what type of music usually sounds well with these hats. what artists use these?

Next buys
19" A Custom Crash
18" or 16" Oriental Trash

What would be better as a main china? (Size) What should I get First?

I have
14" A Mastersound Hi hats
19" Z Custom Med Crash
20" ZXT Med. Ride (2nd crash)
21" A Sweet Ride
14" Total ZXT China

Alphas in a Rock weight are pretty applicable to most. I'd say AAs or AAXs in Rock weights [heavier models] are worth checking out if your looking to upgrade. I can't think of too many that use them; I know Baby-Bruford [Bill Bruford's son] uses them with his work in The Infadels.

go with the 18" to offset the 14" china you currently have. also since you're using a 20" ride as a crash, you'll want to stick with the slightly darker, fuller sound of an 18"
