Metal drummers, this is the hat made just for you and your frenetic, full throttle playing style. It’s the kind of cymbal you’ll want to use when you pour every ounce of energy into the set and leave it all on the stage.

Sabian 14" AAX Metal Hi Hats are tight and dry when closed, but very metallic and aggressive when opened. Designed to hold up to the rigors of a metal drummer’s frenzied sticking techniques and rapid onslaught of rhythmic strikes, this pairing combines a heavier and more articulate top with a more powerful extra-heavy bottom with a booming projection that won’t ever give in to the scream of accompanying guitars.

Like other cymbals in the modern and innovative Sabian AAX cymbal line, the Metal Hats deliver pure, bright shimmering tones with an extremely efficient “Dynamic Focus” design that filters out conflicting overtones and optimizes response, even at the thundering volume levels metal rockers famously generate. Pinpoint lathing and hammered detail ensure a full-bodied, shimmering response that remains loyal and consistent every time you play. All AAX cymbals are made from B20 bronze alloy, often considered to be the most durable and musical of all the cymbal metals.

Tim Yeung, one of today’s greatest extreme and mainstream metal drummers, proudly features the AAX Metal Hats in his ten cymbal set-up. If you like to relentlessly rock without mercy, this is the cymbal you need to get.
