SABIAN 14″ AAX Freq Hat Bottom
This 14″ AAX Freq Hat Bottom delivers crisp, controlled response with a tight feel underfoot. The raw bell and dual-lathing design gate the attack efficiently, keeping the cymbal from washing out during fast playing or complex cymbal work. Built to provide articulate definition in your hi-hat setup for precise recording and mixing.
Tone & Character
The bright sound paired with heavy bottom weight creates a cutting attack that cuts through in both live and recorded contexts without blooming excessively. The exclusive dual-lathing process and raw bell design—the same technology featured on the 2013 Cymbal Vote winning AAX Freq Crash—produces a super crispy tone that stays locked in even at high volumes and faster tempos, making it ideal for tracking and overdubbing.
Build & Materials
Crafted from B20 bronze with a traditional finish, this cymbal combines SABIAN’s proven alloy with meticulous manufacturing. The dual-lathing process and raw bell design work together to control stick definition and minimize undesired sustain for tighter, more controllable recordings.
