Hi-hats have a way of dominating a mix. But not Sabian's extra-thin FRX hi-hats. These cymbals are fully dynamic yet specially tuned to keep from taking over. Micro-perforations near the bell subdue offensive overtones without significantly impacting volume or range. This makes the Sabian FRX hats solid contenders for smaller stages, houses of worship, pit orchestras, and close-miking applications. Sabian's lightweight B20 construction gives the 14" FRX hi-hats their crisp, clean definition and controlled projection that players will enjoy at home, onstage, and at all sound levels.
As drummers, we devote a good deal of time and energy to taming our kits: damping toms, muffling kick drums, and trying to mask and subdue cymbals with gels, tapes, and clever miking. The Sabian FRX series works in settings where other cymbals may be too bold, such as intimate gatherings and recording applications. Sabian FRX professional cymbals are not volume reduced just frequency limited. A series of micro-perforations near the bell reduces unwanted overtones for better seating among an ensemble. This same technology gives FRX cymbals a smooth, defined response that will delight players of discerning tastes.
Every cymbal in the Sabian FRX series begins with Sabian's guarded B20 bronze recipe, unmatched for dynamics and musical expression. Dark, rich, and luxurious, the FRX hi-hats will be a set of cymbals you keep on your kit in and out of season.
