Sabian AA metal X splash

[Ringo]

i've looked and i've saved i almost have enough for this cymbal.
but if there's another splash with equal if not better quality please let me know.

[funkymcstain]

all depends on the sound your after, as far as quality...it an upper line sabian, so i would say it is as good of quality as you can get.

[Ringo]

sweet,
um does anyone own one?

[afflecks]

I have one a 12" or 10" I can't remember I have to admit I do not even use it. it just sits in the corner. It's a good splash I just got tired of lugging it around and rarely used it.

[Ringo]

anyone else?

[Ch33zz]

I dont suggest you get a splash if you dont have a decent crash or ride first, what do you have crash ride and hat wise?

[cc777]

Mmm yeah I have an AA splash and I really don't have much of a use for it. It's cool to have an effect cymbal but I regret spending $$ on a splash instead of upgrading my other, more often used, cymbals.

[Ringo]

I have a B8 pro ride and stock crashes and hats
but i was thinking about using that splash in place of a crash to make a unique sound.

[Ch33zz]

no, trust me, your gonna want something that just dont sound like nice crumbling of tin foil, save up a little longer and pick up a nice 16 inch crash, then work on your ride and hats, as those are the most important cymbals on the set

I definitely concur, splashes seem cool they are much more useful in certain types of music. My personal opinion is they are pretty much useless trash for rock, hard rock ect. Much more use for jazz or blues. I'm not sure what type of music you play but metal X would leave me to believe it rock, you got to get your crashes in order first.

[Stevo42w]

I dunno. If ya got it and you play right. You could incorporate it into your sounds. Its all about being individual. But i definatly would get decent crashes and ride set up first

[Ringo]

maybe
i just wanna be innovative and that's what i do.

[amputechture]

I have a Metal X Ride not a splash of course but same series, nice and sturdy and wont break

I would buy it if i had the oppurtunity.

[Ringo]

what about paiste?

[Stevo42w]

i like paiste too.... paiste make good metal cymbols if thats the style you play.... The ug what they called........ There is the rude series (joey J) the customs i aint really heard..... and the more basic ones are alright really really sturdy....

[Ch33zz]

paiste is made in a diffrent way than sabian and zildjian, giving them a diffrent sound curve kinda thing, often used by a lot of classic rockstars and some newer rockers, i dont think ive seen many jazz musicians with paiste

[DeathMetalDrummer]

i might get the 10" one
