Sabian AAX 18 OMNI Cymbal Hybrid Finish

If you are like me, I like to get as much bang for my buck as I can. I try to use a reasonably small kit that can multi-functionality. For these reasons, I am over the moon about the Sabian OMNI cymbals. These are truly unique, one-of-a-kind cymbals. The best element of crashes and rides in one. The crashes are full and bright with the rides washy and warm. I pair my set (both the 18" and 22") with a set of 14" AAX Freq Hats which have a very controlled sound that nicely juxtaposes the wash and spread of the ONMI's. This is further contrasted with my darker Yamaha birch drums. Together, it all gives me the sound I want and without having to have a half a dozen cymbals around me to do it. Well worth the money in my book, you should check them out for yourself. Musical Background: 30 years professional drummer and educator.

Although Listed As a Crash/Ride, I Only Use the Omni as a Crash, And The Crisp Cut It has Is Unmatched, And Tone Has That Sizzle to it .This Cymbal Is Perfect for the Metal Drummer's who Like That Fast Attack. Musical Background: 25 Years Of Metal Drumming On a Pro level, And 12 Years Of Instructing Musical Style: Djent, Hardcore, Progressive metal

Sounds Awesome! it it isnt dark but its not too bright either for me its perfect. The bell is nice and loud and the crash part is very nice, If you ride on the crash section you get that washing sound and riding it on the middle section you get some ping but not too loud. And it is way cheaper than the HHX OMNI BUT if you like darker sounding crashes than i would recommend you the hhx but IF you can test them both before buying just to be sure!! Luckily i got to try it out at Sam ash but i bought it here because zZounds does payment plans!! From now on I'm only buying HERE!!! Musical Background: Been playing the drums for about 3 years. I play at home/studio and at my church Musical Style: I play christian and hip-hop mostly but i think this cymbal goes great with all

Sound Pretty amazing. I have the 18" version and find it to be very versatile. I prefer a stripped down setup and this cymbal pulls double duty working well as both a ride and a crash. I'm considering the 22" version but may elect to simply purchase a good crash cymbal to complement this one. Well worth the investment in my opinion. Features Very versatile. Ease of Use Straightforward. I didn't have to adjust my playing style to accommodate this new cymbal. Value You are really getting two cymbals in one, so I feel that it's a pretty good price. The Wow Factor I find it very appealing. Musical Background: Active musician Musical Style: Reggae, Country, Rock
