SABIAN 14″ AAX Thin Hat Bottom
The 14″ AAX Thin Hat Bottom delivers a solid, responsive feel underfoot with a thin weight that responds quickly to pedal dynamics. SABIAN’s distinctive hammering technique—visible as larger, rounder peen marks across the cymbal surface—produces a more complex tonal character ideal for studio work and modern recording sessions. This bottom cymbal pairs with the matching top to create hi-hats that balance crispy articulation with added harmonic complexity.
Sound & Tonal Character
The smaller, raw bell design generates crispy, versatile tones that blend seamlessly into contemporary musical styles. The new hammering approach introduces brighter highs and more complex lows across a wider frequency band, giving you cutting clarity and nuanced undertones that sit distinctly in a mix without masking other instruments.
Design & Construction
Built from B20 Bronze with a Brilliant finish, the thin weight makes this cymbal exceptionally responsive and ideal for studio recording environments where fast, controlled articulation matters. The solid foot mechanism ensures stable, consistent engagement with your hi-hat pedal during tracking and overdub sessions, maintaining tight timing lock across takes.
