These 15' AAX mediums are a fantastic choice for modern, pop, and funk drummers who want a clean, articulate hi-hat sound. The smaller bell really makes them pop in a recording, and the medium weight gives you great control and response. They’re not your grandpa's hi-hat, but if you're after a contemporary sound, these are seriously worth checking out.
