Description
Sabian 14 Inch SBR Hi Hats – SBR1402
The SBR1402 hi-hats snap shut with tight, controlled articulation and crack open with loud, full projection when you need it. These 14-inch cymbals pair bright, focused tonality with the responsiveness of medium weight brass, giving you the definition and volume you need on stage or in the studio without compromise.
Sound & Tone Character
Bright, focused response cuts through live and recorded mixes with clarity. The hammered and lathed surface finish contributes to the crisp articulation and sustained wash, while the brass construction delivers the characteristic sheen and penetrating attack expected from entry-to-intermediate hi-hat pairs.
