SABIAN 15" HHX Groove Hi-Hats Brilliant Finish

The 15" HHX Groove Hi-Hats deliver a simmering blend of retro tone and crisp definition, engineered specifically for R&B and funk production. Their responsive character locks into the pocket with dark, musical aggression that cuts through dense arrangements without sacrificing warmth. Built on SABIAN's proprietary Tone Projection design, these hats generate simmering heat and controlled bite at all recording levels, translating clearly to tape and digital formats alike.

Recording Tone & Projection

The Tone Projection design stirs up simmering heat and musical dirt—qualities that distinguish HHX from conventional hi-hats in the studio. This series delivers a modern dark tone that records with presence and definition whether captured softly in a pocket groove or struck with intensity, ensuring the hi-hat track sits naturally in any mix without additional EQ intervention.

Build & Materials

B20 bronze alloy construction paired with pinpoint lathing creates enhanced responsiveness across the cymbal's playing surface for consistent recording takes. The medium-weight top cymbal complements the series' design intent, balancing projection with articulation ideal for groove-heavy sessions and R&B production work.
