Woo! After selling my AAX crash to pay a bill, I've managed to acquire an AA thin crash for just £31!! ($49) Easter post means it may take a while to arrive, but pics will follow!

Loving this thread!
When I started to build my kit I simply bought whatever I could get my hands on through spare cash and upgrading what I had and trading them in. I always bought good quality though as I wanted to ensure that I would be able to get a good trade in when the time came to upgrade. This always lead me to Sabian and Zildjian.
Before I moved full time to Sabian I had a mix:
Sabian AAX 10" Splash
Sabian 14" Pro Hats
Zildjian 15" K Dark Crash
Zildjian 16" ZBT Thin Crash
Sabian 18" HH Crash Ride
These were acceptable but over time I found that the Zildjians could not stand the heat of my playing so I gradually moved over to what I have now (all Sabian):
AAX 10" Splash
AAX 12" Splash
AAX 13" Fusion Hats
AAXplosion 16" Crash
AAXplosion 18" Crash
AA 21" Rock Ride
I will shortly be purchasing a 14" AAXplosion crash or AAX Stage crash - still trying to make up my mind. Next on my radar is a new ride (possibly raw bell dry) and set of 14" AAX hats (possibly stage hats) and a china. I am looking to build up a highly flexible set up that will allow me to play many different styles.
I would love to have a full rack of HHX but I can't justify that sort of cost and, besides, I love my cymbals!

just got a 20 AA raw ride, understandably this cymbal will not suit many an application, but i love it for its woody stick definition, dark to mid tonal range, its great bell and lush crash. took a month of internet prowling before i found a memphis drum shop vid for this and was sold at note one.
perfect fit for someone like myself that may play in smaller settings and who are generally sensitive to the abrasive nature of most ride cymbals.
a great alternate that may appeal to those who favor a dryer sound, and at 225.00 its priced reasonably.
considering the twenty two as a companion, less crash worthy but with even better stick.

quick question, what is the difference between the AA and the AAX ??
AA has traditional lathing, AAX has pinpoint lathing. The difference being that the AA's take more of a hit to "open up" and reach their full sound, whereas the AAX's will sound the same all the time and change in volume depending on how hard it's hit.

I would assume the same goes for HH and HHX then?
Basically, yea. Except the HH and HHX's are hand hammered, the AA and AAX's are hammered by a machine.

Turns out that you can special order the Powerbell ride in other series.

Whoa that's a huge bell! Those are some beautiful cymbals, kinda loud though- probably just the camera? It seems like the aa has better wash, while aax has better ping.
