SABIAN 14" AAX X-Plosion Hats

The media could not be loaded.  These sound so crisp and are perfect.

These hats are by far the best that I have ever played! They are well worth the money. Sound is crisp and solid. You won't have trouble being heard, and the sound is fantastic!Sabian has created outstanding musical instruments in their X-plosion cymbals. The high hats, (AAX); ride (AAX); and crashes (AA, AAX, HHX) are all awesome! You can't go wrong with these cymbals. They are just that good...Sabian is becoming the standard by which all cymbals are measured. Few other companies can keep up. I salute you Sabian!Check out reviews of x-plosion hats on you-tube...I think you'll be convinced to try a pair. You won't be disappointed!

As good as it gets.

Just crisp and clear. Just what I expected from Sabian AAX series. Excellent.

Tight and controlled when closed, explosive and loud when open.

Love it.

A smart sharp hit and sustain...a good blend for rock or jazz types. Bright and excellent sounding. Recommend it to those rockers who wanna make a point...

Before my review, I want to say that my review is only for the top hat in the set. My bottom hat is a Zildjian K Dark hat cymbal. Here's my review:I play pop punk and was looking to replace all my cymbals on my kit so I could get a set that complimented each other, that compliment the music I play, and fit my playing style. I actually bought the top hat at my local guitar center and wanted something bright when the hihat was closed but very swishy when it was opened. I had seen other artist mix a bright top with a dark bottom and thought I'd see if I could find a pair that said to me, "Buy ME!". The associate at Guitar Center and I probably went through probably 15 tops and bottoms of different combinations before I found the Sabian AAX Xplosion top and the Zildjian K Dark hat bottom together just calling my name. If you've never heard these 2 cymbals together as one, in my opinion they are the yin and the yang of hihats. Bright when I need bright, dark when I need dark and they compliment each other in ways I can't put into words except for "swish". This hat is beautiful, it is durable, it is a great cymbal.

Great cymbals
