Switching over to Sabian
« on: July 23, 2007, 02:58:08 PM »
Ok, I am going to go ahead and do it this week. Well, In actuality I am not really switching but I am joining. I currently play for 2 churches. At one church my set up will primarily be all A Customs. At my other church, which currently has an A Custom setup also, will be swicthing over to using Sabians. So in short, one set will be sporting an all A Custom set up and the other one an all new Sabian (?) setup.

I am actually going to get into a store later on this week to play around with some when I get ready to make the purchase but I wanted to get some opinions of the LGM fam. The set up i am looking for is a 16 and 18 crash, 20 ride, 13 hats, 10 & 12 splash and I have to get an Ozone. I am looking into the HHX Evolutions but open to whatever sounds good to my ear.

Not to 'sound' ('cuz you know that you can't hear me speak on the 'net) rude, but there you have it - you just answered it.  Because there are so many variances with these cymbals, someone may have gotten a sweet sounding crash, splash, ride or hi-hats, but when you check them out, it may sound like a tin can.  Just go and bang away at the various models that your local shop has to offer.

I feel you j_kay and you are right. When it all boils down to it, its always best to go with what you yourself feels is best for you. But on the other hand, it never hurts to get opinions from fellow drummers also. Never know when something that you never knew comes out from just "asking".

Yes sir, check out some of these cymbals made by Sabian:

Hi Hats:  13" or 14" stage hats AAX or HHX; 13 Fusion hats HHX or AAX; 13" or 14" Xcelerated Hats HHX or AAX
16" evolution HHX; stage crash or studio stage crashes AAX or HHX; 16" Explosion AAX
18" HHX Evolution (cant go wrong with this);  18" or 19" vault if ya don't know you better recognize
20" HH dry ride, 20" Liquid Ride; 20" Hand Hammered ride: Ya can't go wrong with either of these selections
Any purchase of the 10" or 12" splash that Sabian makes is Fire whether it is AAX or HHX.
Ya already know about the 18" Evolution (the best cymbal of its kind in the business)

Stay Blessed and happy shopping, Nate J.
