SABIAN 14" HHX Medium Hat Top

The HHX Medium Hat Top delivers a thin, dark cymbal with responsive attack and quick decay—ideal for drummers seeking articulate definition in tight musical contexts. This top cymbal from SABIAN's professional HHX series combines controlled volume with fast stick response, making it equally at home in jazz ensembles and contemporary studio work.

Construction & Materials

B20 Bronze construction paired with SABIAN's signature multi-stage hammering process—sparse initial hammering followed by lathing and then dense HHX hammering—yields a cymbal with an enlarged bell and slimmer profile. This engineering directly translates to increased volume and power while maintaining the thin, dark character essential for crisp hi-hat articulation.

Tonal Character & Performance

The thin weight and enlarged bell geometry produce faster response and a controlled dark tone that cuts through without harshness. The sparse-to-dense hammering sequence creates complex stick definition, making this top cymbal exceptionally responsive to dynamics and articulation.
