SABIAN 14" AAX X-Plosion Hat Top Brilliant Finish

SABIAN 14" AAX X-Plosion Hat Top Brilliant Finish

This 14" hat top delivers responsive foot control and exceptional versatility in feel. The medium top paired with medium-heavy bottom configuration strikes a balance between definition and projection, making these hats equally at home tight and articulate or fully open and crashing. The brilliant finish and award-winning X-Plosion Crash design ensure consistent performance across dynamic playing ranges.

Sound & Projection

The large, unlathed high-profile bell combined with sustain-enhancing processes generates volume and cut without sacrificing control. These hats produce punchy stick definition on closed articulations while opening up into full, washy tones when played loose—giving you genuine tonal range from a single pair.

Build Quality & Finish

Crafted from B20 bronze and finished with a highly polished brilliant surface, this cymbal resists oxidation and maintains visual clarity over time. The polished bell and overall construction reflect SABIAN's commitment to consistent, reliable performance in professional and serious amateur contexts.
