NEW SABIAN 15-INCH APX SOLID HATS DELIVER BIGGER CUT Over-Sized Pair is Designed to Cut Through the Loudest Volumes MEDUCTIC, Canada (Jan. 15, 2009) – The latest addition to the SABIAN APX series of cymbals is 15-inch Solid Hats. With a 'High Decibel' design engineered to cut through the raging guitars and high-powered amps of today’s loudest rock bands, the heavier APX Solid models not only make it easier to be heard, but also deliver penetrating volume and cut, taking less energy to play, and giving players the freedom to focus on their performance instead of playing extra hard in an effort to be heard. The cymbal will be on display at the 2009 NAMM Show in Anaheim, Calif., January 15 – 18, 2009 at the SABIAN booth, number 3254.
“For sheer cut and power, APX Solid models are ideal because they deliver an extremely bright, tightly focused and high-powered glassy sound that cuts through the loudest and heaviest bands,” said SABIAN Product Specialist David Williams. “These 15-inch Solid Hats deliver fast, crisp and clear, so even the most complex strokes are heard through the music.”
APX cymbals are crafted from uni-rolled bronze which, according to Williams, “is the ideal metal for tonally, tight, bright and focused sounds.” Solid Hats are also available in 13-inch and 14-inch sizes. APX cymbals are quality protected by the SABIAN Two-Year Warranty.
