GREAT BUY !!!! AWESOME SOUND

SABIAN AAX STAGE PREFORMANCE PACK WITH CYMBAL BAG: I recently bought this package and bought a 18" Sabian AAX stage crash and a 18" Sabian AAXplosion china. I have been playing on Sabian B8's for three years. I bought this particular pack because i have played my buddie's Sabian AAX cymbals and liked the sound and presence of his cymbals. I play in a band in Ohio called EXIT 12. my band consintantly says,"you need to get some better sounding equipment." So, I bought a new set and all new hardware, and decided to buy these cymbals. the overall sound of the Sabian AAX Series is versitle.Meaning, you could use the AAX Series for just about any style of music. I play rock music and I am a heavy hitter. i didnt realize that the medium-thin AAX stage set would accomadate my heavy hitting. I am truly amazed at the sound and feel of these cymbals. I like the stick definition on the stage hi-hats and the stage ride. When I'm riding the ride or choppin on them hats, my sticks seem to bounce back fairly quickly and still pull off a great sound with a good amount of volume. The crashes are awesome. when you kick the bass and crash at the same time, it delivers a punch and a quick decay. They are also very good for quick mutes. The Quallity of these cymbals is outstanding. They are a great buy if you can afford it. My buddie has had the AAX's for 3 years and he says they still sound awesome!!!.If you are an intermidiate-pro drummer, these are the cybals for you!!!!!
