Has anyone tried one of these Sabian Alu Bells?

How do they compare to the Zil Bells ?

equally annoying

Sabian > Zildjian

Same family...Sabian are just better sounding IMO, always. Although I don't like either of those, haha, Sabian always tends to have a smoother sound and nicer sizzle to them.

59 dollars......it's half the price of a zil bell.

Also, Meinl makes a zil bell copy too for 59 dollars.

So, I guess I need to decide between the Alu Bell and the Meinl Bell.

I can't imagine aluminum sounding too awesome.
