Hello all, I am a rabid supporter of Sabian cymbals, and I would like to see what you all own! Please post pics and if possible, review the cymbal. I'll post mine when I find my camera lol.
Yeah, basically. It's larger, lighter, thinner, and has a slightly different profile. To me, it retains all of the renowned qualities of the regular RBDR (nice, clear stick ping and defined and strong bell) while adding a dark, underlaying wash and a beautiful crashing ability. I'd say it's like a traditional jazz ride meets a modern rock ride.Beautiful cymbals, cjbee! Is that prototype a thinner RBDR?
how much will you be selling that aa rbdr agressive?
is it in good condition?
Sabian lovers, I have a problem...
I bought an AAX 19" Xtreme Chinese in early october. About a week ago, I noticed that my favorite cymbal had a crack in it. I could not believe it. It was at the hammered part where I never hit. Luckily, I am sending it back today and should get another in 6-8 weeks.
Heres where the real stuff starts happening. This very morning, I was talking to my little brother (also a drummer) about how Sabian owns Zildjian in every way. We the were just examining our AA 16" Medium Crash because we love it so much (saying stuff like "look at the shimmer!". Just joking around really...) and then we noticed a crack on the bell! This was literally the worst thing ever, for we only have THAT ONE CRASH. We now have to send it back and get another, and will be crashless for 6-8 weeks.
I know that I didnt crack the cymbal for I would have noticed it right away. I am almost positive that my brother did it. He started drumming a few years ago, quit and then started back up again 6 months ago. My technique is amazing and I have only broken 1 thing in my life (a bass drum head). Ever since my brother started playing, our hi hats have gotten cracked, a bass drum head has been cracked, our chinese has been cracked AND our crash has gotten cracked. Call me crazy, but I may not let my brother play drums anymore... I am the saddest person of all time right now and for the first time in my life I am actually thinking about switching to Paiste or Meinl... WHY ME? If any of you have a crash that you really don't play at all (no matter the brand), I will take offers. I really need a crash... Thank you...

Some of my cymbals past and present, and my prototypes...
Here are the 2 latest additions to my collection:
1) 20" Vault Artisan Light Ride
2) 22" HH Raw-Bell Dry Crash/Ride Prototype
Yup, that's the exact one...it was designed to Jose Pasillas' specs and he has been using it for their last few tours (dating back to about 2004).Hey cjbee do you the story behind that 22" RBDR crash/ride, or which artist it was made for?
I *think* Jose Pasillas from Incubus has been using one or something like it as a crash during their latest tours. Check out this YouTube vid:

It's right above his rack toms.
