Sabian AAX Medium Hats 15-inch

General

That Sabian never stops innovating they do prove with the new additions to the AAX series. The AAX Medium Hats 15 inch is the big brother of the hihats in this series. Despite this extra inch, it is still perfectly all-round usable. This is due to the "Autofocus Response" treatment this cymbal has had. This has the effect that all frequencies are perfectly balanced and overtones are filtered out. This leaves you with a hell-balanced cymbal that you can use widely. It also doesn't matter how hard you hit.

Hammer strokes on the AAX Medium Hats 15 inch

To get a more complex sound, Sabian hammers some cymbals. A new hammering method has been developed for the new cymbals in the AAX series, using a hammer with a larger striking surface. This makes the blows more visible in the surface of the cymbal, and the low frequencies in particular become slightly grittier and darker as a result. Nevertheless, there is still enough high to call this cymbal clear in sound Thanks to the smaller and raw finished bell, the sound is nice and crispy and pleasant even when played with the foot.
