Review: "While X-Plosion crashes are already found in two Sabian ranges, the AAX X-Plosion hats are the first hi-hats to get the X-Plosion treatment. This manifests itself as an initial clout of brightness in the 14" pair, giving them a powerful edge. At the same time they are undeniably smooth, with their volume and clarity being tempered by a broader spread of frequencies. Any overt toppiness is most obvious when playing them half open; closed they are articulate to the subtlest degree.
Beside them, the 16" hats are like a post-adolescent older brother. Their note is much thicker and deeper but they still shimmer with an almost glassy high-end, making them surprisingly slick for such a large set of hats. Like the 14" pair, they are unflappably eloquent when closed and even when loosened off they remain (just about) in control."
