    Default Sabian 17/18'' AAX X-Plosion Fast Crash

    AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I LOVE THESE GUYS!!!!!

    Firstly I'll start with the 18'', this thing is DA' Bomb!. The only way I can describe it, is like throwing a rock at a stained glass window. Its sounds literally like a shattering window, but a lot more musical lol. I really like the dry bell, it added a lot of texture to it. Its weird but it actually ride's very smoothly,not too many overtones. I am SO buying it.

    Now for the 17''. As some of you know, I LOVE 17'' inch cymbals, I don't know why, I just do. But anyway, This cymbal sounds as if the words "music" and "intense", had a baby, and the smell of freshly baked cookies and apple pie made a baby, and both babies had a baby. (its OK, just think about it).
    (I think that's explanation enough).

    I actually tried all of the sizes (14,15,16,17,18,19) but I just really liked the 17 and 18 most. The 16, really got me also.

    So I hoped my, talking like a maniac, and weird baby analogies had an effect on your idea of these cymbals in a good way.


    PS-Sabian rules.

    I recently replaced my 17 & 18" signature full crashes with 17 & 18" AAxplosions after the paistes cracked. I compared them with Zildjian projections at the shop after reading all the hype from Zildjian fanboys on the web. Both myself and a few customers standing around in the shop conquered that These were the hands down winners. Ive since replaced all my paistes with Sabian AAX/AA's just love these cymbals, especially the xplosions they are my fav

    I also had the 16" and 17" AAXplosions a few years ago until I sold my kit. Now that I have returned to drumming, I, of course, need cymbals again. After listening to A's, A Customs, 2002's, etc, I still haven't found anything I like better than the AAX line. So I'll wind up buying exactly the same cymbals I had last time.

    By the way, I enjoyed your very decriptive review a lot! Well written!

    I've never had the pleasure to play these cymbals, unfortunately. :(
