 Which Sabian crash should i get?
I have had a listen to some Sabian crashes and im going to ask for one for my birthday.
Here are the ones i like:
AAX Metal Crash 18"
AAX Studio Crash 18"
AAX Studio Crash 17"
HHX Evolution Crash 18"
HHX Evolution Crash 17"
HHX Stage Crash 17"
HHX Studio Crash 18"
HHX X-Plosion Crash 18"
Anyone have any experience with these cymbals? What do you guys think i should ask for?
Cheers.

I'd go for the metal-x if I had to buy it myself, but definately for the HHX if I was to ask it from someone else...
Good luck on your choice, and congratz in advance

hhxplosions i think are the best, but evolutions are quite good as well

you should consider the context in which you will be using these cymbals as well as what youre trying to accomplish with the cymbal.

I used to have an HHX Evolution Crash 18" and it was probably the best cymbal I ever owned. Such an amazing natural sound.
I cried the day I found a crack in it. RIP.
