The Sabian Crash AAX O-Zone is a unique cymbal that comes in a few different sizes. The version of this cymbal that I've used is a 20" cymbal, but I believe it also comes in 16" and 18" sizes. The cymbal is unique due to holes that it has in it, hence the name O-Zone, which is funny and kinda messed up all in one. I don't know too much about ...
The Sabian AAX Studio Crash 16" is a cymbal that I've used in both my home studio and in a few different professional studios. I'm not a drummer my trade, but my best friend is and he owns one of these. We've been playing together for years, so I've recorded him playing with this cymbal in various locations over the years. This is pretty much...
I've been using the Sabian AAX Dark Crash cymbal for about two years and it is one of my favorite crash cymbals to use for recording rock and pop music. It has a brilliance to it that is not only unique but works perfectly for these applications because of this tone quality. The model of the Sabian AAX Dark Crash cymbal that I use I believe is 1...
I've been using the Sabian AA Bright Crash cymbal for about two years for recording and while it is a good sounding crash cymbal, I have used better ones that I would use over this one any day. The cymbal is 16" around and has a nice bright sound to it that is good sounding, but somewhat limited in its use. I would really only recommend usi...
I owned my 16" AAX Stage Crash for a couple years before I sold it off to another drummer. The sound quality of the cymbal changed dramatically to my ears over the time owned it. I remember buying it and thinking it sounded great, to eventually cringing enough that I replaced it with a different brand of cymbal. I don't know if it was...
I only tested. I tested several models, Paiste, Sabian, Meinl and Zildjian (I will not any that could test jai). A great cymbal, his last one (I would recommend, however, Agean cymbals, which are final, too). No need to hit hard to make it sound. And it sounds, believe me. Raport excellent value for m...
I use it for about 2 years, I got it bundled with my drumkit, so I have not really tested other model before buying, I'm happy a few months before moving on Zildjian A custom home it is a good crash thick enough, but that sounds a little sharper than my A custom 15 "and 16" yet thinner. the bell of the cymbal is well defined, muc...
Awesome. What a crash ... Powerful but both sweet and especially in a dynamic game and punchy, it's ideal. It's a cymbal accents, but be careful it's heavy. It fits in my set with my K Dark Thin 16 and my AAXplosion fast crash 18. I hesitated with other cymbals and I really do not regret this purchase. G...
Cymbal purchased new this afternoon .. I have not played with for a longer length but tried at the store. I hesitated between a lot of cymbals: HHX, HH, K, K Custom etc. .. Say the sound I was looking at an appointment with this model .. Decay short, sounds very dark ... Big sound .. I play funk, it's ideal for me because I need to...
