Pure, bright, sparkling sounds.

This thing is unbelievable. I played it in the store in Ocala, and it is perfect. Tap it lightly, thrash it, it sounds perfect--the only thing that changes is the volume. I need it.

Kicks the Zildjian family in the teeth!

Probably the greatest cymbal tone I have ever heard in my drumming career. The 15 inch AAX is probably the reason why I fell in love with Sabian and due to the fact that I can never get the tone I want out of Zildjian. It can be used as an accent cymbal, a quick choke, or you can use it to thrash. It's a great all-around cymbal.

There's no mistake that the AAX series sounds great. My only problem with them is that I crack them fairly often. I just like to make sure I get the cymbals with a replacement plan then there are no worries.
