Sabian 10″ AA Sick Hats
These compact hats cut through dense mixes with a biting foot and higher-pitched stick attack that translates clearly on recordings. The 10″ AA Sick Hats pack the dry, trashy, and lush character of their larger counterparts into a nimble package, making them versatile enough for tight hi-hat work or unconventional stacking applications in the mix. Their smaller footprint offers smart value without compromising the aggressive tone that defines the Sick Hats line.
Design & Construction
The raw bronze surface provides quick response with a dry and cutting attack, ideal for cutting through dense arrangements. The 27 one-inch holes engineered into the cymbal create an airy, shimmering quality with plenty of presence and heat in the tone.
Recorded Sound & Session Flexibility
Expect a characteristic bite off the foot paired with a higher-pitched, articulate stick definition—perfect for genres demanding clarity and edge in the recording. The hats also function as a fast, sizzling stack when mounted cup to cup on any standard cymbal stand, expanding your textural palette for layering and creative cymbal blending in production.
