I love the Rock hats. A buddy of mine has them and I've played them and was like "wow". The funny part is that the ride I ultimately want is the AA RBDR, so when then this happened I'm actually happier that the ride fell through.
These hats are very bright, with good stick definition when closed and have a beautiful wash when opened.

Does anybody know why it's nearly impossible to find a Sabian Ice Bell? I LOVE how it sounds and can't imagine why they would try to hide it. It sounds soooo much better than an Alu-bell.

MF has them, 12" ones at least!
Been a while since I posted a pic of the pies. I have been getting to play them once a week so they acctually have been played. I think I have about 4 or 5 hrs on them.
Why not get a Zil-Bel?! Hahaha! I have infiltrated the Sabian thread!
Two suggestions. Sam-Ash, and Memphis Drum Shop. They are guaranteed to have it, it's just getting it.

HHX! Oh how I love thee!
I'm currently banging on:
AAXcelerator 14" Hi-Hats
16" and 18" HHXplosion Crashes (looking to trade the 16 for a 17" HHX Legacy)
21" AA Raw Bell Dry Ride
and a 19" AAXtreme Chinese.
and a 9.5" ZilBel. :P
You guys remember that free cymbal deal Sabian had a few months ago? I think they may have sent me the wrong cymbal lol. I just noticed that my cymbal says AAX X-Plosion Crash instead of AAX X-Plosion Fast Crash. Which model were they sending out? I can't remember.

Hi all, some beautiful Sabian cymbals here folks! Another confirmed and diagnosed Sabian nut here lol! Been using Sabian for 10 years now and bought my first set when I was 18, I was so proud- it was an AAX Stage Set and to this day I still have those cymbals and use them regularly for live use and recording, they have only gotten sweeter with age!

yeah, i love that video...the leopard ride and the 14" AAX X-Celerator hats i'm 98% sure about, the chinese about 80%...not sure about the HHX's yet though...some first hand info would be great
Sabian aa vintage bright are the most amazing hihats.
im interested in the AA series probably gonna buy the RawBellRide and Crash 18" , i play various styles really but my roots are prog metal a la dream theater anyones opinion?
The AA RBDR is absolutely amazing. I bought one from GC used for $120. It's got a great dry, yet bright ping and a clear, cutting bell. One of Sabian's best rides, IMO.

Yeah I have the AAX RBDR and it has really grown on me. It's not as washy as I'd like, but I have a K crash/ride for that, and the RBDR is my more dedicated ride with that sweet sounding bell!
Great ride cymbal!...and even brand new it goes for under 3 bills! Can't be beat for the price.
AA, AAX, and HHX for me!
AAX 14" xcelerator hats, 16" (don't like it much) and 18" HHXplosions, AA RBDR 21", and 19" AAXtreme China
Mine's gotta be cleaned too. It's actually got some strange green spots on it in addition to the general dirtiness of the cymbal.

So I want a cymbal to replace by 16" HHXplosion, but blend with me 18" HHXplosion..would a 17" AAX Dark Crash blend well? I need a little bright to my crashes, seeing as everything else on my set is bright, but can't seem to settle on what to grab.
