What a weird Music Store.... ....my local gc only has the bottom half of a high hat (wtf)
theve been anounced as the sabian answer to the paiste sigs, but has anyone played on them?

but they have a full set of paiste sigs so we combined the top half of the sigs with the apx bottom and they sounded realy good. but i dont know if itll sound the same way when the struck one is an apx so im currious. anyone play with them?
play till the day i die. it makes more sense that way.

From what i've heard of them, admittingly very little, they didnt seem greatly similair to signatures- i think the sigs are much nicer. I'd make more of a comparison to Z customs.
A local shop here has had them for over a month. They had a big premier sale with some reps from Sabian and all. I already had plans that day so I could not go. I have not had a chance to listen to them yet. Im in the market for a new ride so I may take a look one day here soon.

Funny you mention, I just asked the same question last night in Guitar Center when I saw their new APX setup. These things sound downright awful. Basically, they're B8's with a new lathing structure and brand name. Nothing close to the Paiste Sig's. They sound like heavy plastic and the bells produce NO sound but a thud. Nasty.

thanks guys i live in a kinda behind the times town so we dont get stuff in till a month after its revield, (we finaly got the paiste crystal hats witch i had been dyeing to try since 32nds review of them) good to know there not even worth trying. that makes my cymbal chooseing easyer.
and coke on your sabian sigs being the answer to paiste sigs, the sabian sigs were all developed with certain artists for there own taste while paiste sigs are a brand and then there are signature artist cymbals like the stuwart copland blue bell ride.
play till the day i die. it makes more sense that way.

Heard the APX's tonight. Crashes and Rides. They were not as bad as I thought but I didn't really like them. Too metallic sounding for my taste. Better than the B8s and XS series. Like everyone else I will take my AAX crashes over them any day. I love going into this shop. I tae my daughter to soccer practice every Monday just up the street. Great way to kill some time.
