Sabian AAX 14 tums X-Celerator Hi-hat

Allmänt

Sabian is one of the most famous cymbal manufacturers in the world. The company was founded in 1981 by Robert Zildjian, when his older brother became the head of the Zildjian company. Armed with a lifetime of knowledge and experience, he started over and created a company named after his three children, Sally, Bill and Andy (SaBiAn). Over time, Sabian grew into the respected company it is today, and now belongs to what has been dubbed 'the big four', along with Zildjian, Paiste and Meinl.

Sabian AAX series

Today, Sabian is known for their innovative cymbals, and the AAX line is what started it all. Like the AA-series, it consists of machine-made B20 bronze cymbals. The AAX series, however, receives very different hammering and lathing treatments, which results in a very different sound. It also features the exclusive Auto-Focus Response feature. Where other cymbals have a 'response threshold', meaning they sound best once they reach a certain volume, AAX cymbals respond with total accuracy at all dynamic levels, from low to high volumes.

Sabian AAX 14-inch X-Celerator Hi-hats

The 14-inch AAX X-Celerator Hats consist of a medium top and a heavy bottom cymbal, and it's that bottom cymbal that makes this a rather special pair of hi-hats. It has a special 'Air Wave' design, which means that the edge is rippled. That allows the air to flow through when you shut it, and it changes the contact between the top and bottom cymbals, changing the sound. The pedal chick is bright and clear, and the overall sound is crisp and loud. This excellent pair of hi-hats is a great addition to your drum set and will fit in with almost any style of music.
