6. Sabian HHX Medium Hats
Starting with a round of sparse hammering, followed by a rotation and a denser HHX hammering on top, the result is a pair of hats that are thinner, darker, and faster. A slightly larger sound cup provides more volume and power, but these hats tend to be lighter than most medium hats. The versatility with which music styles can effortlessly crossover has always been a hallmark of the HHX line, and the 14" HHX Medium Hats impress with great stick response, a solid foot, and a warm, crisp attack.

7. Sabian SA HHX Groove Ride 21"
HHX is the best of HH, AA, and AAX combined. With various material thicknesses and weight gradations (Extreme, Manhattan, Studio, Stage, Power), every drummer can find the perfect cymbal for their style. The difference from the HH series lies in the unique, large hammer strikes.

8. Meinl Pure Alloy 18 Medium Crash

The traditional hammering and lathe technique creates a complex sound profile with multiple harmonic layers, resulting in a professional sound suitable for both studio recordings and live performances.

The bell produces a clear, focused ping, while the bow area delivers the main crash sound with musical articulation.
