HHX, HH, AA, and AAX are all relatively high-end models from Sabian and can be considered products of the same grade. So it doesn’t matter which one of these is the best.
The main difference between these four models is the timbre, so there are some differences in the music styles that each style adapts to.
On the official website, the sound of each model is summarized in a few words, and each model is given a listening test so you can try it out. I think it's quite accurate,
HHX, Modern Dark - An innovative 'Tone Projection' design makes this the ultimate 'dark' sound. Dark modern tone, innovative tone projection design allows it to emit A particularly dark sound.
AAX, Modern Bright - Its 'Dynamic Focus' design delivers the ultimate modern bright sound. Bright modern sound, unique dynamic focus design can create a special modern sound
HH , Vintage Dark - Traditional hand hammering creates the ultimate Vintage Dark tone. Dark traditional tone, traditional handmade
AA, Vintage Bright - Explosive energy and bright tone, together. Bright traditional tone, explosive style A combination of energy and bright tone.
Price, AA, AAX series cymbal sets, including a set of 14" Hi-Hat, 16" Crash, 20" Ride, quoted at close to 5000RMB, HH, HHX series, also have the same configuration, price Around 6000RMB.
You mentioned elsewhere that you mainly play Punk. At that time, I mentioned that among HHX and AAX, you can actually choose from so many spokespersons in sabian, especially those with Artists whose playing styles are similar to yours.
The more high-end Sabian product series include the Paragon series customized by Neil Peart, and the Vault series. The Vault series has a wide range of products with various tones and appearances. You can find it.
However, to buy these series, you need to order from an agent.
Of course, after you determine the model you need, it is best to try it out yourself. This includes playing cymbals alone and auditioning on a drum set.
The Set Builder on Sabian's website allows people to configure a virtual drum set and cymbal combination and listen to it in real time. Try it
