SABIAN 15" AAX Medium Hat Bottom Brilliant Finish

SABIAN 15" AAX Medium Hat Bottom Brilliant Finish

These 15" AAX Medium Hi-Hats deliver a crisp, articulate response with a solid foot feel that translates seamlessly across studio and live settings. The thinner-sounding medium weight paired with a smaller, raw bell creates a versatile cymbal that cuts through modern mix contexts without sacrificing complexity. The innovative hammering style—characterized by a larger, rounder peen—produces visible surface texture that contributes to a more nuanced, slightly darker tonality.

Tone & Sonic Character

The AAX Medium pairing introduces brighter highs and more complex low-frequency content than heavier alternatives, courtesy of SABIAN's refined manufacturing approach. This wider frequency band makes the hats equally at home tracking in the studio or performing on stage, blending seamlessly into contemporary sounds while maintaining articulate definition during closed articulations.

Design & Construction

Built from B20 Bronze with a Brilliant Finish, these hats feature the Air Wave bottom design that eliminates air lock for unrestricted foot control and response. The thinner construction and new hammering technique represent SABIAN's commitment to answering current trends in drumming—delivering faster, more complex cymbals without compromising tonal sophistication.
