14″ Sabian HHX Anthology Low Bell Top Hi-Hat Cymbal
The HHX Anthology Low Bell Top captures a tight, articulate foot chick with a cutting attack that cuts through dense mixes without sacrificing musicality. The compact bell design produces a focused response that translates precisely to tape or digital, making these cymbals ideal for studio sessions where control and definition in high-hat articulation shape the overall groove.
Tone & Character
Built from premium B20 bronze, this cymbal pair produces warm, dark tones with pronounced clarity. The smaller-than-usual bell design generates a distinctive foot chick and cutting attack, allowing the cymbals to sit perfectly in mix contexts where definition and separation matter.
Construction & Design
Both the top and bottom cymbals are fully lathed, with the top weighing approximately 1034 grams and the bottom 1298 grams, creating a medium-top, heavy-bottom configuration. This weight distribution ensures responsive opening action paired with stable, controlled closing characteristics—critical for capturing consistent hi-hat performances across multiple takes.
