The Sabian 14" HHX X-celerator Hi-Hat combines the dark atmosphere of a hand-hammered cymbal with a vanguard construction and design for today's players. Featuring the iconic large pattern hand hammering over a medium-thin top cymbal with a medium weight bottom, the X-celerator benefits from a grooved bottom lip to prevent trapped air for hot foot response. Finished with the company's Tone Focus technology which retains musicality even at high volumes, this set is up for the demands of heavier genres.
