Sabian HH 14-inch medium hi-hats

General

After his older brother Armand took the reins at the Zildjian company, Robert Zildjian decided it was time to strike out on his own. So in 1981, armed with years of experience and a great knowledge of the trade, he founded his own cymbal manufacturing company named Sabian - a name that derives from the names of his three children, Sally, Bill and Andy (SaBiAn). Since then, Sabian has become one of the world's leading cymbal brands and enjoys a great reputation as one of the 'big four' of cymbal manufacturing, along with Zildjian, Paiste and Meinl.

Sabian HH series

The HH (Hand-Hammered) series of cymbals is a line of high-end cymbals, cast from Sabian's special B20 bronze alloy (which contains 20% tin and traces of silver). These cymbals are crafted by the master artisans at Sabian and tend to have a dark, atmospheric sound and a mid to low pitch - hence the Vintage Dark classification that Sabian has given the series. As all HH cymbals are individually hand-hammered, and the power and placement of each hammer stroke will vary, no two cymbals sound exactly alike. This gives the HH series a personal feel that many drummers across the globe have come to love.

Sabian HH 14-inch Medium Hi-hats

Sabian's 14-inch HH Medium Hats consist of a medium top and a heavy bottom cymbal. In combination with the classic 'Vintage Dark' sound of the HH cymbals, that gives this pair a very versatile sound. It offers great, solid stick definition when played closed, and when you open it up, it showcases its excellent response and its warm, dark and musical sound.
