A. I'm locked in on AAXplosions for replacing each of my current crash cymbals
B. I read things left and right on here about Saluda cymbals...all good things at that
C. I finally got around to looking at the Saluda site
D. The prices wowed me
E. What I've read on here about them has wowed me
F. I'm not so locked in on the Sabians anymore

What is a line in the Saluda family close to the AAXplosions? I love their sound but would get Saluda's in a second as they are different and I doubt I'll run into other drummers playing them, are a little cheaper (from the Mist X and Earthworks prices I looked at), and appear to be just a great in the quality department.


Thanks!

best thing to do is talk to jamie. aaxplosions are medium thin cymbals, so a thin or medium thin mist x will be the closest. I have a 16" mist x thin dark crash that sounds wonderful, and I can't wait to hear it when it comes into its true sound. Jamie suggested this cymbal to me in my request for an hhxplosion sound. It isn't the exact sound I was after but it sounds amazing never the less, still opens up beautifully and has a full sound, just brighter than I was after but since it's still new I will just have to give it time.
