sabian 16" bright crash.
exccelnt crash. when its choked it sounds like the cymbal chokes vinnie does on primal concrete sledge.
Sabian 20" tight ride
nice jazzy sound to it with a small bell that's kinda dark sounding.

dont mean to insult your intelligence and dont know how long you had the cymbal for but they are covered for a year. call sabian get an rf number mail it back to them and you'll get another for FREE if its been under a year since you had it.

14 HHX Stage Hats-my personal favorite cymbals, they always cut through and work well for me in many different genres.

14" AA regular hats: very nice bright sound, very versatile.
16" AA El Sabor crash: opens very quickly. bright, yet warm tone.
18" AA El Sabor crash: same but bigger:D opens better with a loud hit.
20" AA medium ride: super versatile and clean ride, though I miss some dark tones in this one. Bell is OK, but nothing more than that. I want to get a thinner, darker ride someday soon.

xs20 14" medium thin crash: A great cymbal but only if you hit it relatively hard, it just doesn't sound good when hit lightly. I love this cymbal though...
B8 hi hats 14". I don't like them. I really don't. They only sound good when "chunked" with the shaft... you absolutely cannot hit them with the tip of the stick. well, you can, but you wouldn't want to.

Yes, I have a lot of Sabian cymbals.
21" HH Raw Bell Dry Ride: Best cymbal I own, best ride I've played. Extrememly versatile, cutting bell, dreamy articulation, deep soulful crash, and if you want a bit more wash then just ride it on it's edge. I can't recommend this cymbal highly enough.
13" HH Fusion Hats: Funky vintage sound, with a great chick. These cymbals stand out.
14" and 16" HHXplosion Crashes: Awesome! Dark, simmering, powerful. And very sensitive. Even good to ride on if you want a lot of wash.
15" and 18" AAXplosion Crashes: (I'm soon replacing the 15 with a 20) Some of the best crashes I've ever played. Explosive, shimmering, cutting, sensitive, bright. You have to play them to believe.
18" AA Metal-X Chinese: My first china, and I still love it. Very explosive, with a lot of bite to it. Very bright.
19" Carmine Appice Signature Devastation China: I fell in love with this china. Ultra trashy, very loud, and if you're not careful overpowering. But amazing when you need to keep a constant trashy rythym going.

Hi!
I'm big fan of Sabian, so i've got a lot of them.
For shows i'm using:
AAX Stage hats 14'', which is the best sounding hat i have ever heard, and i have heard a lots of them.
HH rock ride 20'' it's more than okay, but i'm still very upset with myself, because 22'' would be even better.
AAX metal crash 20'' veeery large and slow responsing crash, with high pitch.
HH medium thin crash 18'' excellent for accents as well as for everything else.
Radia (signature) 18'' china (terry boozio) it's hard to describe it if you haven't heard it live. But it's prettey dark and fast responsing, as well as trashy.
HH 14'' mini chinese - opposition for radia.
As i said, i'm big fan of sabians, so next to my drum set i'm always keeping some extra cymbals for some hackworks or sometimes just for fun, when i want to play with a little bit wider range of set.
AA medium crash 19''
HHXplosion 19''
AAX stage crash 18''
HHXtreme crash 17''
HH rock crash 16''
Signature neil peart splash 10'' (i guess it's 10''  )
Ice bell 12''
It's god to own a lot of cymbals, because if i have to play in some small rooms i can choose cymbals, which are smaller and with smaller '', so in small room they are sounding better, but if big open air festivals i ca use bigger cymbals, ... well, i hope you get my idea. ;D

AAX-xcelerator hats: i love them very much and i'm going to keep them for as long as they dont crack which i doubt they ever will. great for alot of music types, cant go wrong with AAX i dont think.
HHX groove ride: didnt like it at first because it was way to loud to be a ride...but my ears came around and now i love very much. it was well worth the money i think and i'm going to try and hang on to it as long as i drum. goes great with modern made cymbals like A custom and AAX which i want all my cymbals to be including some or one HHX.
Past sabian cymbals {dont own anymore}
B8 splash: good...cant believe i sold it.
B8 thin crash: i like it
B8 ride: i hated it...worst 100 bucks i ever spent.

I only own 2, but I constantly play them when I get a chance. I am starting to change all my cymbals over to Sabian.
I have:
18" AA Rock Crash - Absolute best crash cymbal I've ever played. An absolute workhorse of a cymbal. It's very bright, responsive, and almost a little punchy if you hit it right. Also works great for crash-riding.
20" AA Metal-X Ride - Not the best ride I've ever played, but it's up there. Nice ping if you use the right sticks (any nylon teardrop tips), great bell. It's very loud and cuts through on recordings. A little too bright for me, though.
