You already know Sabian makes great-sounding cymbals. But now the cymbal experts at Sabian have taken hihat sound to the next level. Sabian’s AAX X-Celerator Hats have a little something extra that helps make them clean, articulate and an instant favorite when placed into your set-up. To help achieve maximum clarity and faster playing, the undulating “Air Wave” edge allows air to escape so you don’t experience that dreaded air lock phenomenon when going through your musical progression.

AAX cymbals are designed for more experienced players who demand professional-quality cymbals that hold up to the rigors of frequent practice and performing. All AAX cymbals feature a bright “Auto Focus Response” that ensures crisp, accurate sounds that are consistently clean and free of conflicting overtones. The cymbals are also sensitive and responsive enough to tap with your finger or strike with the sticks. They offer clarity and cut cleanly in all volume levels to ensure your hits are heard even over the surrounding music.

AAX X-Celerator Hats in three sizes are made of sound-shaping B20 bronze alloy with a highly buffed brilliant finish and an equalized mid to low pitch range. Grammy® nominated Andy Hurley (Fallout Boy), Jimmy “The Rev” Sullivan (Avenged Sevenfold) and newcomer Paul Niedermier (Thriving Ivory) all have incorporated the AAX X-Celerator Hats into their line.
