Sabian 18" AAX AAXplosion Crash

The sound is loud, and really good for rock! But not much else though.
Bought a 14" 16" and 18" AAXplosions since they seemed like quality, and cymbals that could take a pounding. After just a while though, two of the cymbals(16 & 18) cracked from the body (signs of manufacturing defect).
I sent some messages with thomann and they said they would send it to Sabian and then Sabian would determine wether it was their fault ( In which case they would send a new one for free ) , or someone elses ( In which case I would end up paying the postages to Canada ).

At the time I didnt have the money to send it and possibly end up paying if Sabian simply pointed the blame at me, so I just ended up with two broken cymbals with most likely manufacturing defects.

Would recomment Sabians bought used, since it appears defects are frequent, and they show up early.
