SABIAN 14" AAX Medium Hat Bottom

SABIAN 14" AAX Medium Hat Bottom

The SABIAN 14" AAX Medium Hat Bottom is engineered to anchor a hi-hat pair with articulate stick definition and tight, punchy closes. Its medium-heavy weight and refined B20 Bronze construction deliver the clarity and controlled response that working drummers rely on across diverse playing styles. This cymbal sits lower in the stack to provide the mass necessary for clean articulation without sacrificing musicality or introducing muddiness.

Sonic Character & Acoustic Design

The Air Wave bottom design eliminates air lock, allowing natural response during both open and closed playing. A larger, rounder peen with visible hammering contributes to balanced frequency response that cuts through a mix while maintaining definition at lower volumes, making this bottom cymbal equally at home in tight studio sessions or live settings.

Construction & Materials

Built from B20 Bronze—a copper, tin, and silver alloy—this cymbal undergoes a dual-lathing process that refines tonal characteristics and ensures visual consistency. The medium-heavy weight specification is specifically engineered for the bottom position, providing the mass needed for controlled sustain and reliable stick definition.
