SABIAN 14" AAX Medium Hat Top Brilliant Finish

SABIAN 14" AAX Medium Hat Top Brilliant Finish

The SABIAN 14" AAX Medium Hats are engineered to sit tight in a mix with crisp attack and controlled articulation that punches through without muddying adjacent frequencies. This pairing balances definition with musicality, translating equally well to isolation booth or full-band sessions. The visible hammering pattern and refined bell design ensure predictable response across dynamic playing styles and recording scenarios.

Sound & Tonal Character

The smaller raw bell yields crispy, versatile hi-hats that blend seamlessly into contemporary production sounds, while the larger, rounder peen introduces a more complex tonal palette with brighter highs and deeper lows. This thinner-sounding weight expands the frequency band, delivering both clarity and textural nuance in a single pairing—ideal for layering and post-production processing.

Construction & Design

Built from B20 Bronze with a Brilliant finish, these cymbals showcase a distinctly new hammering style featuring a larger, rounder peen that's visibly evident across the cymbal surface. The asymmetrical weight pairing—1027 grams on the top and 1287 grams on the bottom—creates a solid, responsive foot that locks in without sacrificing speed or sensitivity during tracking or live recording sessions.
