        Comments about Sabian AA Metal Crash Cymbal:

        I have 16" and 18" Sabian AA Metal-X cymbals that I've had for a year. I recently decided to buy a 17" one for my set but since the Metal-X version is now discontinued I went with Sabian AA Metal. It looks and sounds exactly like my Metal-X ones. they're loud, but not too loud, with a bright, explosive sound. gotta let em break in a little though. these are beautiful cymbals truly made for metal!

        Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

        Comments about Sabian AA Metal Crash Cymbal:

        I own the 18" version and....This is a man bear pig of a crash if you manage to crack it... you must have been beating it with a hammer. But the raw bell is killer if only it was on my ride lol. but its not the best for crash riding I personally think its a little to heavy for that idk maybe it just need broken in more but it works amazingly well when crashing while crash riding on another. The bear does manage to ring forever but the ring falls out of the mix very quickly so recording is no problem with this. I will write another review a few months from now to see how its holding up.

        Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
