The Sabian AA Sick 10-inch Hi-hat Cymbals deliver fast, cutting articulation and a uniquely trashy, dry character in a compact, highly versatile format. Designed as a smaller counterpart to the larger 18” AA Sick Hats, these mini hats provide a higher-pitched stick response with a sharp, cutting bite when played closed, while still retaining the signature raw, lush texture of the Sick series.

Featuring 28 one-inch holes, the cymbals produce an airy, explosive sound with added heat and complexity, allowing for expressive tonal shaping depending on orientation. Played cup-to-cup, they also function as a fast, sizzling stack effect that can be mounted on any cymbal stand—making them ideal for hybrid setups, electronic-acoustic kits, and creative percussion rigs. Available from Sky Music Australia, these compact hi-hats offer modern drummers a bold and flexible sonic tool.
