AAX has got to be the metal/rock drummers wet dream.. they shimmer and explode under your stick. they're bright and powerful when you need them and yet can be subtle and give you that roar like distant thunder when it's quiet.
Sabian shit all over ZHT... So many rock & metal bands use Zil and that is what lacks in the drumming... Ben Gillies used the AAX range on Frogstomp and Freakshow that is why he's hi-hat use has always sounded to crip, that chingy sound ya just love and loud to... I have never split or broken a sabian cymbal before, my AA crash is 15 years old, still has logo with no stick marks... Ive much around on zil and worst of all pastie... Sabian fucking Rules!
thanks red twizzler, i thought the aax would be alot better but im not too great a drummer and i just feel they cost too much when i don't really need expensive advanced cymbals.
AAX by far. I'm not even saying that as a Sabian fan (which I admittedly am) but as a drummer in general. ZHTs are sheet cymbals, and AAX are cast. That fact alone makes the two incomparable. AAX is the definite choice.
@scaxxomaxx Yeah, read the comment above mine, dipshit. The dude was asking if he should buy ZHTs or AAXs. AAX is obviously the better choice. I'm not saying Zildjian doesn't make good cymbals, but when comparing those two series, AAX is the better pick. But hey, way to take a comment from a year ago and try to make an argument out of it. Good job! Anyway...
@RedTwizzler with the new shitty youtube I can read only your comment,because has some thumbs up.So sorry for that.About the time thing...I use to argument about religion too,with is not 1 year old but a few thousands.
sabian has always been my cymbal. they are just amazing cymbals. like the x-cellerator hi-hats are the best things ive heard in a while! dont get me wrong zildjian and paiste are great to, but i love AAX from sabian. and personally i love the dark series from AAX, the 18" crash is amazing.
It depends. X=Plosions have a medium pitched sound with a lot of body, Metals have high power/high volume, the darks provide a low pitch but with bright focus, studios give a light crisp tone and stage gives chunkier brighter sounds. I personally love the Metals, but the best thing to do is try all of em' out at a local store and experience 1 for urself.
emn general no me gusta sabian .algunos platos son rescatables como los hhx evolution ,en aax lo mejor el "el sabor picante" .,sabian me parece muy delgado y hasta antes de hhx suenan mucho a laton .
whoever thumbed down my comment is a fucking idiot, sorry if I insulted someone who owns one but guess what...so Do I!! Thats how I know it doesn't cut properly on the Bow. Now take this advice or don't , its up to you.
I love them, I use them. My only beef is that the AAX stage ride doens't cut enough live and its called a stage ride. So Im saying the AAX Stage Ride DOES need micing.
The backround drum solo is Daniel Adair's solo!

Honestly, the difference between Zildjian and Sabian is brightness. (Overall of course)
Also depends on the drummer, Zildjian is often best for live/stage play and Sabian is for studio play, again, due to brightness and cutting

For me,
Crashes: Xplosion
