maybe no paiste supplier in his area.

anyways, 13" AA Fusions would be your best bet.

as for Sig = HHX....umm, no, sigs cover a whole specturm of sounds (Bright to dark), Sabian has different tones per line (AA = bright, HH = dark for example)

[QUOTE=Drum Phil;15416467]
Why sabian though? Why not just get the paistes?[/QUOTE]

Because you touch yourself at night.

Hmm, bobby i aint too hot on paiste, never got to try enough to understand the lines so i'll take your word for it.

Spirit, your mum does that for me.

Bobby's right. Sig's cover a larger range than HHX's.

Sucks to be you. My mum has no hands.

Footjob ftw.

Who said she used her hands?

how good are AAX cymbals?...I just ordered a 20" stage ride, 14in Stage Hats, 16 and 18 AAXplosion crashes, and an 8in splash


Are these pretty good, durable, all around cymbals?

i mainly play metal but i just want to know if i made the right choice or not

Shouldn't you have asked before you ordered them? :rolleyes:

just ordered after doing a little bit of research haha. i can still cancel though

They're pro level cymbals.

sounds good. a lot of people like the AAXplosion crashes. i dont like them personally, but they're all fine cymbals.

you might want to look into a heavier ride though if metal is your thing.

Yeah my old drummer had a stage ride and he hated it because it was mostly wash.

I should have bought it from him.

Yea I like most AAX products. I have a mix of AA and AAX and I really like the 16" AAX studio crash I have. Noone talks about much about them, I think there a great line.

AAX studios are fine *** crashes man. Got the 18" model myself. Couldnt be happier with it

Im looking for new cymbals.

Ride: Bright and pingy. High pitched with a glassy sound. Some wash, but not all wash. Im thinking AAX/A Custom.

Hihats-Good chick but great swish when played open. Bright and light. Both cymbals not overly heavy. Im thinking AAX also.

Any more suggestions.

AA raw bell dry ride (i own it fits your description)
AAX stage hats (see above^)

Ready for a dumb question? Whats the difference between the AA RBDR and the HH RBDR besides $100? :p

[quote=little_drummer_boy1;15416441]what are some comprable sabian hihats to paiste signature 13 sound edge or 2002 13 medium?

(maby a little less bright)[/quote]

the sabian equivalent of sound edges/mastersounds are the xcellerators.

They have them in both the AAX and HHX series...you'll have to try out both to see which one you like more.

Gordie...ones AA and ones HH:p

Thanks Jay. You're lucky ilu bby or else I might just have had to kill you then :p

HH has a bit more warmth, but other than that, not much so far as i can tell.

[QUOTE=MeaninglessPhoto;15422170]Ready for a dumb question? Whats the difference between the AA RBDR and the HH RBDR besides $100? :p[/QUOTE]

The AA is so sparsely hammered, it's been recommended as a suitable 'blank' for getting into hammering your own cymbals.

The HH has more hammering. Unlikely to be hand hammering, but hammering nonetheless.

To go along with the A Customs, look at Sabian Vaults, very similar cymbals.

Hey.

I have recently decided that I need some new cymbals as at the moment Im using my Pearl Stock Crashride :(

Anyway, Im looking for some new hats, 2 crashes (That compliment eachother :)) Also a ride. I play Punk mainly and a little rock so something along those lines would be great.

Thanks

Depends on budget, firstly. If you're cashed up, I'd suggest the following:
13" K/Z Dyno Beats
17" and 19" A Custom Medium-Thins
20" K Heavy Ride or 22" A Ping Ride

If you're not cashed up then I'd look into Paiste PST5s in similar sizes and weights.

Ok, thanks. Yeah, I have a high budget so Im looking for the best cymbals that fit the type of music I will be playing :)

It does appear that way. E-mail the seller and ask whats up with the picture...?

hey, off to buy some new cymbals on thurs. Does this seem like a good set:

-14" New beats Hi-hats
-16" A custom fast crash
-18" K custom Dark crash medium thin
-22" A custom ping ride
-20" oriental china

Yeah man.

Not my thing but good cymbals

..... :O

im looking for a bright, but lower pitched crash cymbal heres an idea of what im looking for compared to what i have.

16" sabian b8 thin crash- perfect, but id like somthing lower pitched to complement it.

16" sabian xs20 rock crash, too dark...

18" AA Medium Crash, maybe Medium Thin.

I'm looking for a large size crash. I'm dead set on a another Vault crash. Just the size I'm not sure. I have a 17 inch and its my main crash which i use to groove on and what not. But I definitely want a bigger sound from the crash. Would a 19inch over do it or no? I would be using it as my main crash to groove on and what not. Wouldn't over power too much?

I shouldn't see why it would.

Just wondering, In a live setting if it would just crush the sound of any smaller cymbal. Also what would have more body 18 or 19? Is the inch difference that big of a difference?

I assume going somewhere, like a shop, to try them out is out of the question?

Try Sabian's Sound Check thingy.

Anyway, the 19" is clearly going to have more body. All other things being equal, it's a bigger cymbal. And there's no reason it should overpower anything. In a live setting, cymbals don't linger in the soundscape for long, at least not at any sort of level you can actually hear.

I have the option to try it out just not the option with the 18 inch.
Thanks guys.

Well I have a 15" that doesnt get drowned out by 18" crashes.

Sweet. I'm just going for bigger crashes since I had a 16" and it just couldn't stand up to being used all the time so I went for the 17" and now I'm thinking to have that and a 19" in my setup.
