The SABIAN 14" FRX Hi-Hats are a pro-level, extra-thin B20 Bronze hi-hats that deliver a quick, shimmering response and exceptionally soft feel. SABIAN FRX (Frequency Reduced) hi-hats are designed for playing environments where other hi-hats have too much attack. They are NOT low volume hi-hats. Rather, they work by cutting specific frequencies that result in the perception of volume. Remove those frequencies, and suddenly your 14" FRX Hi-Hats sit perfectly in the mix, no matter how hard you play. No compromise no holding back. FRX are ideal for playing churches, weddings, corporate gigs, small venues, schools, musical theater, cruise ships, drummers who sing, band rehearsals, or any setting where cymbal/hi-hat volume could be a problem: even on the largest stages where a multitude of live mics for singers and acoustic instruments are a challenge. FRX gives real drummers in real situations the freedom to play any gig without holding back.
