Sabian’s latest edition to their award winning line of HHX cymbals is the HHX X-Celerator Hats. The Sabian Vault Team designed hats provide the same hot and dark simmering tones as the rest of the HHX Series, but add increased speed and crisp clarity through the use of a heavy bottom and it’s countoured “Air Wave” design. These newly designed countours expel air when the cymbals come together which eliminates any sound-muting airlock, creating a combo of tone and projection.
Like all SABIAN HHX cymbals, HHX X-Celerator Hats are hand crafted from SABIAN’s secret process B20 bronze, a combination of 80% copper with silver and 20% tin. The cymbals are ‘Sonically Matched’ as pairs, and they are quality-protected by the SABIAN Two-Year Warranty.
These Sabian HHX X-Celerator Hats are available in 13″, 14″ and 15″ flavors. The 14″ hats go for around $400 from online retailers such as zZounds.com.
