Sabian Cymbals

[Olimpass]

How I’ve been putting my cymbal sets together before putting in bag. I have a half inch bolt, a couple nylon washers and a wing nut.

No hammer marks,AA?

Are you referring to my cymbal question, previous page, slanddad?

[slanddad]

Yeah,the 20 in.

There are some mild hammer marks and Sabian AA stands for “Automatic Anvil” a machine programed hammering technique. So it could be an AA I guess but not because of no hammer marks. They’re too hard to see with only the photo I’ve uploaded. Thanks slanddad for your input.

AAX and HH have more pronounced hammer marks

I’ve taken a better pic to show the automatic anvil hammering on that 20” Sabian.

Okay, since the hammer marks look round I'll change my guess to AAX

I don’t think it’s AAX. Doesn’t AAX have like a raw bell, brownish looking? I think you were right the first time with AA but I honestly am not certain.

[slanddad]

Not all AAX's have a raw bell

I've never seen anyone do that. I might have to try it.

I used to use a hi hat clutch

Let me know what you think if you try it. TIA
