I would try to get to the Memphis Drumshop tommorow, but I have a rehearsal and I have to work. Mannnnnnnnn!!!! How much are they running?
I didn't look at the prices on everything but the hats are $329.99.
Has anyone else got a chance to platy them yet?
Man, and I was at my shop yesterday and didnt even bother to ask!! what an idiot. I did see a really nice Vault Ride....I really liked it. I was picking up a Genera Head and a Glass 500...per your suggestions. I will let you know how that works for me. I also picked up a Protection Racket cymbal bag...and the manager gave me Protection Rackets Deluxe stick bag for free...So I was happy.
Sabe, can you give me a good feel or suggestion on a ride. I love my A Custom Flat...Legacy Ozone?
God Bless.

i tried them a few weeks ago and they sound pretty good. i was more interested in the o-zone splashes though.
I have an Prototype AAX flat 20"(thank God for lay-a-way, :)). The Ed Thigpin Crystal flat is hot, try getting it in a 22". The AAX Stage is the truth 20" or 22". the 21" is a lil quirky in my opinion. Legacy Ozone will make you stand out but if you cannot jazz play rides you might not want it. It will be something to control. I haven't heard i tyet but I think it will be somewhat like the Fierce ride with a bit of control because of the holes.

Man E.R. coming over here. Notice that S in sabian comes before the Z in zildjian so that means Sabian comes first before any of the 2 cymbal companies.

Are all of the abov mentioned flat? I just picked up the Sabian Sound Catalog, I like the way the HHX Manhattan and HHX Groove Ride look. Also the Tri-top ride?
Forgive me if this is wrong and please correct me if I should think differently. But I am not just going for a cymbals sound. I want a jaw dropping eye catching cymbal too! :o :o :o Something that looks unique that not everybody has. Like for example, I saw some Meinl Byzance Dark finish cymbals, awww man, to me they were beautiful. Bronze with nice dark black hammer marks all over. I want something other than just the standard bronze looking blaaah cymbal.
God Bless.

Sabe i got a chance to check out the legacy ride and crash at g center. Those babies are sweet i like the ride which is dark, smooth, and trashy. I will keep my eyes on those and do a little more testing out!!!!!!!!!!!!!! oh by the way how many cymbals do you have and how do you feel about the sabian metal rides out of the aax line? i was thinking about gettin one! 8)
I guess that I'll have the dissenting opinion: I wasn't feeling them at all. I like the K Custom Hybrids better. ;D
I'll stick with the Evolutions! ;D
Well they are human made; they just happen to be better than Zildjian! ;D
Yup, the Hand Hammered series is cool; that's the majority of my collection. ;D
Here are my cymbals (all are in brilliant finish):
Sabian's 7" Signature Mike Portnoy Max Splash
Sabian's 10" HHX Evolution Splash
Zildjian's 12" A Custom Mastersound Hi-Hats
Sabian's 13" AAX Fusion Hi-Hats
Sabian's 16" Hand Hammered Dark Crash
Sabian's 17" AAXPlosion Crash
Sabian's 18" Hand Hammered Dark Crash
Sabian's 18" Vault Crash
Sabian's 18" HHX O-Zone Crash
Zildjian's 18" A Custom China
Sabian's 21" Hand Hammered Raw Bell Dry Ride
The AAX Fusion Hats are extremely defined and has a fair amount of wash when played halfway open (considering the extreme weight of the bottom cymbal, which is hand hammered - it also has two 'extra' holes on the opposite sides of the cup) - they record really well.
Regarding the ride cymbal, the Hand Hammered Raw Bell Dry Ride is also defined from the bell to the bow, with minimal wash (but just enough spread to it). It is a very crisp sounding ride, and I feel that the contrasting tonal spectrum compliments the AAX Fusion Hats (and my 12" A Custom Mastersound Hi-Hats, which I also use a my main pair from time to time) really well - the hats and the ride are crisp and defined. What about the bell? Well, the bell is also very nice. I wish that it were a little bigger, but that would take away from the 'dry' attribute of the cymbal.
All in all, I made my choice from the sound clips that are located on sabian.com. I then ordered the hats from indoorstorm.com and the ride (along with the others, except for the Vault Crash, AAXPlosion Crash, A Custom Mastersound Hi-Hats and A Custom China)from massmusic.net. Risky, I know, but I lucked up on some really excellent sounding cymbals. ;D
I hope that this answered your question. ;D

sabian are really pushing boundaries - more so than any line...
with paiste you dont really ever get away from a clean sound - even the dark energies.
zildjian are just very plain cymbals in my opinion.
sabian have aa metal-x through to vault and artisan straight to something like the o-zone!
i have 15" hhxtreme protoype hats, 18" and 20" hhx ozones, 14" sabian jack dejohnette first series, 14" sabian will calhoun mad hats and then a load of paistes, including trads, dark energies, sigs and sound creation!
