Sabian AAX Medium Hi-Hat Cymbals
zZounds Gear Experts Say...
Complex, fast, and bright! The Sabian AAX hi-hats are medium weight with a smaller, raw bell that results in a crispy tone ideal for mainstream music.
Overview
Sabian's AAX medium hi-hats bring a diverse palette of sound to the AAX line. A smaller, raw bell results in crispy, versatile hi-hats that blend nicely into mainstream sounds. The foot is very solid, and the thinner-sounding weight of this medium pairing makes them ideal for studio recording. The modern hammering style - much more visible on the surface of the cymbal due to the larger, rounder peen - makes for a more complex and slightly darker pair of hats.
At the same time, more highs are introduced into the sound, resulting in a wider band of frequency. For drummers, that means brighter highs and more complex lows. SABIAN has always pushed the boundaries of innovation, using the latest manufacturing technology to answer modern trends in music and sound. AAX Medium Hats are no exception, answering the call for thinner, faster, more complex cymbals.

Things To Know
Sabian AAX Medium Hi-Hat Cymbals

Hey, it's Nick from zZounds with some things to know about the Sabian AAX Medium Hi-Hats. This is the 14-inch variety.
The first thing you'll notice with this AAX family is the smaller bell that brings out more articulate and crispy highs for the line. It’s a medium-weight cymbal, but it has a much thinner sound, making it really good for studio work. Hi-hats tend to get all over everything, so it’s great to have a thinner frequency range to work with, and it just blends and sits in a mix really easily.
These are great in the studio, but also great for other types of music—punk, pop, rock, and even jazz to an extent. You can get that kind of thinner tone out of these if you're not looking for a really dark, complex sound. They’re definitely brighter than the HHX series.
It features a modern hammering style that you can see on camera here. You can notice the Sabian sheen and the hammering technique, with bright highs and really complex lows, but still a bright hi-hat. It’s awesome in the studio and for a ton of different genres.
So, this has been the AAX Medium Hi-Hats. You can find them on zZounds. Thank you!
