SABIAN 14” FRX Hi Hat Top

SABIAN 14" FRX Hi Hat Top

The SABIAN 14" FRX Hi Hat Top delivers controlled articulation with a crisp, defined response that cuts through the mix without excessive wash. Designed as the top cymbal in a hi-hat pair, this cymbal offers responsive stick definition and reliable foot control for drummers who prioritize clarity and frequency management in their setup. The FRX (Frequency-Reduced) design targets and suppresses problematic overtones rather than sacrificing overall volume, making it an ideal choice for recording sessions, tight ensemble playing, and controlled live environments.

Tone & Frequency Control

The micro-perforations near the bell work to subdue offensive overtones while maintaining the natural resonance of the B20 Bronze material. This approach preserves stick articulation and attack while eliminating the harsh frequencies that can muddy a mix, giving you focused, musical response in any context.

Design & Construction

Paired with a medium-weight bottom cymbal, the light top configuration creates responsive hi-hat action with quick recovery. The hand-hammered finish combined with the traditional regular finish contributes to the cymbal's controlled tonal character and visual appeal.
