Upgrading/replacing cymbals has nothing to do with control. Getting AA series also has everything to do with what kind of sound you're going for, not control...

Thicker cymbals have a tendency to break more than thin cymbals. While Thicker cymbals may be louder, Thinner cymbals tend to 'give' when you strike them; they are more resilient to hits and can bend a bit.

Don't listen to D&Q.
