zildjian over sabian? naw bro. I did go to a drum shop and saw sum nice 17 and 18 inch a customs and almost bought them, then i quickly came to back to reality when i heard some sabian aax's and hhx's. They almost got me. I went and bought those things you put on your cymbal stands that are kind of like a tube. They are black and prevent the cymbal from rubbing againt the metal on the stand. So now I shouldnt have any more cymbal problems and im gonna be the only one playing on them
