  • You rarely see these gorgeous Hand Hammered Sabians in 13s”.  And they’ve aged and mellowed 30 years!  

  • And these are the illustrious BRILLIANT FINISH beauties! 

  • They have all the crisp and fast playability of 13s” but they’re wonderfully DARK sounding and low pitched with that famous Shimmer!  They’re a lot of fun to play.   
  • They sound bigger than they are but they play quick like 13s” do.  

  •  These particular HH beauties espouse the time-honored New Beat weight philosophy which ensures a SOLID CHICK and delivers a wonderfully crisp attack. 

  • Although Sabian is renown for their innovation, calling hi hats "Regular Hats" is ummmmm...welll....rather uninspired! 

  • Bottom Line is these are Sabian's late 80s/90s answer to Zildjian K Hi Hats. That's what the HHs are - but with NEW BEAT weights and they really ARE Hand Hammered, unlike Zildjians. 

  • And….they’re Brilliant! 

  • These are DARKER sounding than Ks and have a subtle complexity because they really are Hand Hammered.  

  • Weighing in at a GOLDILOCKS 795 grams for the Top Cymbal, and 1195 grams for the Bottom Cymbal, these Regular Hats play like very DARK Low Pitched, very crisp K New Beats. That’s the vibe.  

  • They have all the warm, glowing tone that catapulted the HH Series to stardom 45 years ago. And being 30 years old they offer a subtle dry stick attack that is wonderfully articulate and refined. 

  •  Dark. Lower pitched. Crisp. Articulate. Low profile. Great chick.  Very warm but with that inimitable SHIMMER. Responsive. Controlled at low volumes. Penetrating at louder volumes. 

  • Play with the quickness of 13s”. 

  • Magnificent shape. Stunning 3 decade old Hand Hammered Hats that have aged gracefully.  And they’re damn hard to find too.  A great set of hats to build a voice around.
