SABIAN 14" AAX X-Plosion Hat Bottom Brilliant Finish

SABIAN 14" AAX X-Plosion Hat Bottom Brilliant Finish

The AAX X-Plosion hi-hat pair delivers a tight, cutting attack with excellent definition for contemporary drumming across rock, metal, and fusion contexts. The medium-weight top combined with a medium-heavy bottom creates a responsive pairing that locks in cleanly during fast footwork while maintaining crisp articulation on stick work. The brilliant finish reflects light and adds visual appeal to any kit setup.

Sound Character & Response

The high-profile bell design emphasizes a punchy, well-defined attack that cuts through a dense mix without sacrificing control. The B20 bronze construction delivers the traditional bright, sizzling character SABIAN is known for, with the asymmetrical weight pairing (1060g top / 1353g bottom) providing excellent separation between open and closed sounds and precise control during half-pedal work.

Construction & Specifications

Built from premium B20 bronze with a brilliant finish, this pair balances durability with visual sophistication. The 14-inch diameter sits at the standard size for modern hi-hats, and the distinct weight distribution ensures both cymbals respond independently while maintaining tight cohesion when closed.
