Clean and clear attack with no air lock





Hi-hats are vital. Every drummer knows that. But some designs have a hard time maximizing their sound due to air lock (when air can't escape the cymbals fast enough). These AAX X-Celerator hi-hats use Sabian's Air Wave bottom hat to eliminate the air lock and ensure you get a quick and natural foot chick sound when closing the hats. Get the great performance of Sabian's AAX hi-hats, but leave air lock in the past with the X-Celerator hats.





Serious drummers rely on Sabian





Take it from the drummers at Sweetwater, with Sabian cymbals, you're in good company. Located in the small Eastern Canadian village of Meductic, New Brunswick, Sabian has been supplying the shimmer on the top end of countless hit records for over three decades. First-call drummers such as Terry Bozzio, Dave Weckl, Neil Peart, and Mike Portnoy rely on Sabian for the sizzle atop their kits, and you can too.
