18" Sabian AAXplosion Fast Crash

| Review By: Dustin Turner | 6 months, 1 week ago

1 people out of 1 found this review helpful

Features:

Super shiny.

Quality:

I bought the 18" Fast Crash used.  I didnt realize that it was an Extra-Thin cymbal until i was reading up about it a few hours before it arrived at my home. seeing as how im a hard hitter, i thought this cymbal would be a little sketchy for me. i decided to just see how it went. as i opened it, i noticed that since this was my first brilliant cymbal ( about a month or so earlier i bought a used aax stage ride for around 160 in brilliant finish but it was a few years old and the finish had somewhat been worn down )  it was  a true fingerprint magnet. ( when playing i refrain from choking the cymbal just because it looks cool without the prints.... ha) i placed it on my stand and gave it a whack. i knew that from the first crash it was definitely a keeper.  ive been playing it hard for around a month and a half now, and no dents/stickmarks whatsoever, amazing.

Value:

i bought it used for $145 so i cant say much about the value, but it was like new. but i definitely recommend busting out the money for this cymbal, or for the penny-pinchers, grab it used before someone else does.

Overall:

i think that this is probably the best crash cymbal i have ever played on. i used to love zildjian a-customs.. in the stores. but live they're not loud enough. this cymbal cuts through so well ,just like the rest of the aax family. i will definitely be purchasing more. if i were to upgrade my cymbals, it would be to Meinl Byzances. but until then, im sticking with theses.    best cymbal i have ever played.

| Review By: Luke Luebrecht | 9 months, 2 weeks ago

1 people out of 1 found this review helpful

Features:

I will start off like a child. IT WAS SO FREAKING SHINY! Not even kidding. They literally took my breath away when I opened the box. I got the 18" and the 19". I love the shape, the huge bell, and the brilliant finish. It also looks hardcore when you give it a good smack, from the thinness. Woooo.

Quality:

Freaking rediculous quality. I held them in my hands for a few seconds, then put em on the kit. First I hit the 18 inch, it shimmered and a smile spread across my face. Then, I whacked the 19. I think I blacked out for a second. I just sat on my throne for a good 5 minutes just crashing them. So awesome, cutting, yet very dark and deep.

Value:

Price doesn't really matter if you are getting something that upgrading won't be needed later. Also, this isn't too bad of a cost. Get it!

Overall:

Loud. Cutting. Smooth. Sabian.

i play drums for a stoner metal band so i needed something loud!! i got the 19" in a trade for a paragon and it was exactly what i needed, have a 17" a custom on the other side that i am replacing with another one of these cause it makes it sound very weak
