Sabian 14″ HHX Anthology Low Bell Bottom Hi-Hat Cymbal
The HHX Anthology Low Bell delivers a responsive, articulate character that captures definition across traditional and contemporary recording techniques. The smaller bell design produces a focused, controllable response ideal for sitting clearly in a mix without sacrificing the full frequency range needed for expressive hi-hat texturing. These cymbals unify essential HHX technologies with a thoughtful low bell geometry that opens new tonal possibilities while maintaining the sensitivity and elegance that professional recordings demand.
Sound & Sonic Character
Built from premium B20 bronze and fully lathed on both top and bottom surfaces, the HHX Anthology delivers unprecedented sonic control and range for session work. The medium top paired with a heavy bottom creates a balanced, responsive cymbal pair that articulates clearly in any tracking or overdub context while maintaining traditional, elegant tonal characteristics that translate well to tape and digital formats.
Design & Construction
The smaller-than-usual bell design is the signature feature of this cymbal pair, engineered to allow the full spectrum of hi-hat sounds to develop with no compromise to playability or feel. Each cymbal is individually weighted and marked in grams on the inside of the bell, ensuring consistency and allowing engineers to match pairs according to their session requirements and mix priorities.
