Frequently Asked Questions

AAX cymbals are generally more polished and focused, while the HHX Evolution offers a more complex, nuanced and organic sound with a slightly darker undertone.
While versatile, the assertive bottom cymbal makes truly quiet jazz playing a challenge; a lighter, darker hi-hat pair would be more appropriate.
The strategic hand-hammering is part of the design and doesn’t compromise durability; they’re built to withstand regular playing.
