The Sabian HHX X-Celerator are a set of hi hat cymbals for your drum kit. These cymbals come in a few different sizes, including 12”, 14”, and 15”, but the version I’ve used is the 15” hi hats and I don’t know how they compare to the smaller models. I recently recorded with these on a session where I was behind the board and not the drummer. ...
The Sabian HH Fusion Hi Hats are excellent cymbals for many reasons. Unlike many HH hi hats, they have a much brighter and more shimmering sound. This cuts through music very well and even fast, light strokes can be heard through the rest of the band. These are like the name says, because they could totally fit in a fusion context. Fusion pl...
I am a huge advocate of the HHX line, and one of my favorite examples of why this line kills are the Groove Hats. Funk and groovy rock/jazz are my favorite styles to play, and that is what these cymbals are marketed for. They certainly deliver on all accounts, and are just amazing cymbals. Everyone always reminisces about the old zildjians an...
These were my very first Sabian cymbals to ever have gone in my set up, and they will probably be the last. I have used many Zildjian and Paiste’s before trying this model, and they weren’t the worst cymbals ever, but they rang too much.

I used this with my hihat Pearl Export EX in early with other Cymbals XS20 Series (Medium crash 14 and 16 "Medium...
I use it for 6 months or so. My old charley charley was a given with the drumkit (magnum), then, that happiness! The characteristic I like most is its lightness, which is not found with some alloys B8, again, I also like the flexibility and sound. The downside is that in order to bring out the sound and not be bothered by...
I bought this pair of hihat in 1998 and I do not spar am I never bought other either. This means that a strong kilomtrage. To support the comparison, it would be the equivalent of an old Mercedes, she drives like new and it's always the class. I have tried many others before and especially APRS, the only people who would have made me have attrac...
