I finally got it, and i have got to say, the AA Metal-X(16") crash and AAX X-treme china(15") together made me realize why i loved Sabian so much!! This thing may be small but its loud and very thin, i wasn't going to use it at first and sell it for another china, but decided to check it out with my kit. It just goes so well with my vintage hihats, AA crash, Mega bell ride, and everything. And you barly have to hit it to be heard, i love it. Anyway, anyone else gotten theres? Id love to hear some reviews =D

I'm still waiting on mine. How long did it take?
I bought a pair of aax stage hats just to get the deal for the free china. I was running a 20' china and 12" splash and I wanted to downsize. I tried just a ride, 2 crashes and hats but I need something for staccato accents. This shoud be perfect.

took about 3-4weeks. Its got great sound for how small it is, and they include a shipping paper for proof for warrenty =D

It came today. I thought we were going to sell it but my son prefers it to his 16 inch wuhan so I guess we are going to keep it. I like it as well not as trashy and a little higher pitched.

sweet, yeah i love mine too. I just hope it never breaks, because even tho it sounds soo awesome. Ill never pay 175.00 for another one. So ive been hitting it lightly so it should last longer =D

I've got to say I'm a big fan of the AAX-treme chinas. I'm a Sabian fanatic, but to my ears their chinas are just not what I'm looking for. I have really enjoyed these cymbals. I'm also probably the only person that thinks the Carmine Appice Devastation china sounds good...but I think this is a killer china and affordable due to the B8 alloy.

Also if anyone is looking for a monster china sound in a compact size..Evolution Mini-China, you won't be disappointed.

to tell the truth, the one china i always wanted, was a 17" Meinl china like chris adlers. Im just to lazy to work for it and to poor to buy it lol. But believe it or not i like the sound of B8 china(18") lol

Off course it sounds good. Have you tried the APX china?
