SABIAN 16" AA Apollo Hat Bottom

SABIAN 16" AA Apollo Hat Bottom

The SABIAN 16" AA Apollo Hat Bottom delivers exceptional control and articulation with a characteristically fat, responsive feel under the stick. Paired with a thin top cymbal, this medium-thin bottom produces a dirty, bone-dry tone that cuts through a mix without sacrificing definition. Built for drummers who demand versatility—from tight, controlled foot sounds to open, expressive wash—this cymbal rewards nuanced playing technique across all dynamics.

Tone & Response

The dirty, bone-dry sound character combined with layered classic AA glass creates a cymbal that remains articulate even at volume. The medium-thin bottom weight of 1331 grams pairs ideally with a thin top to produce a super-fat closed sound while maintaining stick definition and foot articulation across all playing intensities.

Build & Durability

Constructed from B20 bronze—SABIAN's premium alloy—this cymbal is engineered to withstand consistent performance use. The two-year manufacturer warranty against defects in materials and workmanship protects your investment and reflects the quality built into every cymbal.
