SABIAN 14" HHX Medium Hats

SABIAN 14" HHX Medium Hats

The 14" HHX Medium Hats sit lighter in the hand than comparable medium-weight pairs, with a responsive foot and articulate stick definition that cuts through live mixes without demanding heavy attack. The darker, faster response paired with a slightly enlarged bell projects volume and presence while keeping the crisp clarity tight—essential when you need hats that punch through without muddying a dense stage mix. These hats work across jazz, funk, pop, rock, and most contemporary setlists without character compromise.

Sound & Response

Thinner construction yields a darker, faster response with warm, crisp character. The slightly larger bell boosts volume and power, giving these hats presence without sacrificing definition or control even at lower dynamic levels.

Construction & Design

B20 bronze construction combined with a specialized three-step hammering process—sparse hammering, lathing, then denser HHX hammering—produces a tonal profile distinctly richer than standard medium hats. The slimmer profiles and enlarged bells optimize both responsiveness and projection.
