I went to my local guitar center today just to look at some cymbals. I saw a used 18" AAX dark crash and a 17" AA fast crash which were used. They were in excellent condition and they sounded much better in person than they did on the website. I put a deposit on them because they sounded great, were in great shape and were only 225 for both.

I am looking for a 16" accenting crash. Which would work well with these two? Should I just get another 16" AAX dark crash or do I need something brighter like a thin crash or a stage crash? I want to know what 16" crash you would choose if you had this setup.

Thanks
 
Well, I would go with Istanbul instead of sabian, but that's just me. I can't be your ears and I can only say that a 16" AAX would mix well, but in the end it comes down to what you specifically like. Try out a lot of cymbals and see it as an opportunity to create your own sound!
