SABIAN 15" AAX Medium Hat Top

SABIAN 15" AAX Medium Hat Top

The SABIAN 15" AAX Medium Hat Top delivers a responsive, articulate feel under the stick with enough weight to cut through a full mix without sacrificing control. Designed as the top cymbal in a medium/medium-heavy pairing, this hi-hat responds crisply to both tight closures and open articulations. The AAX series has earned its reputation for versatility across rock, fusion, and contemporary jazz settings.

Sound Character & Construction

Built from B20 bronze, this cymbal produces the warm, complex sustain characteristic of premium alloy composition. The smaller, raw bell contributes a focused, crispy attack that cuts cleanly without harsh overtones, making it equally at home in controlled studio environments and live stage setups.

Craftsmanship & Design

The larger, rounder peen hammering pattern is visible across the playing surface and directly shapes the cymbal's sonic profile and response curve. This deliberate hand-crafted approach, paired with the traditional finish, establishes the AAX's signature sonic identity and durability.
