SABIAN 22" AAX Omni

The first one I ordered, they sent me candy jars (?), I got another one and it showed up with a big scratch. The sound is great but I would go to a music shop or order from sweetwater where you can see pictures.

Most crash rides I've had in the past don't have the all-round ability of this cymbal. It had a large bell that cuts through well, a nice [almost symphonic] crash will a long sustain that is of a higher pitch than you'd expect for a cymbal this size and a good responsive riding surface.I have a favorite medium/ heavy 22' Turkish ride that has great articulation and cut, so I was worried about showing up to gigs with just this cymbal, which is about a third of the weight. Even though it is lighter, it still cuts through, mainly because AAX's do tend to be bright [higher pitched] cymbals.Dynamically this cymbal will do the jazzy, gospel and even rock stuff I ask of it, but if you want a nice stick definition or 'ping' when riding, this cymbal may not be what you want. I like the wash and shimmer, but this is no 'dry' ride cymbal, it has a unique sound. . . before spending your money, I'd listen to a few being played by various drummers on the videos available here or on youtube. I based my purchase on that research and I wasn't disappointed. As with all Sabians I've owned this is a very well made, quality cymbal. I was worried about it being mailed halfway around the world, but it was well packed [huge box!] and in perfect condition on arrival.

I use a Zildjian 22" Ping Ride as my usual ride cymbal, but I needed a Crash/Ride hybrid to play with a small kit with no space for anything beyond one crash cymbal. I listened to everything offered from Zildjian and didn't find anything to my liking. Then I found this Omni cymbal, and it is perfect! I think it is the best crash/ride cymbal out there. The crash/ride balance is amazing, it has a great ping sound, and a beautiful crash sound and the sound decays nicely. It has the perfect amount of sustain.There is a video on Sabian's website of Jojo Mayer striking an AAX and a HHX Omni back to back. It is a good way to hear the difference. The HHX is a bit darker, and I preferred the AAX.And it is the coolest looking cymbal, everyone always comments on how cool it looks. And it is signed by Jojo Mayer on the bottom of the bell.

me encanto el producto y venia en excelentes condiciones, el tiempo de entrega fue el mismo que se describia alli

Amazing cymbal and easy transaction. I would definitely buy from this seller again.

I love the cymbal. This is a great model to go for. Excellent overtones, not too pinky and not too many ugly overtones. And crashing sounds great.The one thing I didn't know is that the cymbal I received in the mail appeared to be B-stock or something. It had blemishes and markings in the lathed area (some even perpendicular to the direction of the lathing). Idk if this was a fluke or if the seller simply did not inform what stock he's selling. But it explains why it was just a little bit less expensive.If I had to do it again, I would just pay 20-50 more to get it from another seller. Unless it was stated that they have blemishes and there was a more significant discount from the standard price.

This cymbal is my favorite cymbal I own. I got an awesome deal on it from Rhythm Traders flash deals for way less than this, and I have not stopped playing with it since it arrived. Compared to the 18" (which I also own) it has way better ride functionality with super smooth and perfect crashes on the edge. If you're thinking about this cymbal, don't think any longer, just get it.

Such a gorgeous cymbal!! great for any genre and sounds so nice!! Sabian has never disappointed me!!
