1/3
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
13-inch entry-level hi-hats from Sabian's SBR line. For a first kit, a practice room, or a backup pair you won't worry about.
Strong match
Who this is for
- First acoustic kit that shipped with no cymbals
- Practice space where you leave cymbals set up
- Backup pair for gigs on questionable stages
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Recording sessions where cymbal tone carries the track
- Loud rock or metal drummers wanting cut over a band
- Players who already own mid-tier hats and want an upgrade
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Sold as a pair
Top and bottom both included, matched. No need to source a mate separately.
Detail 03
SBR line
Sabian's entry tier, made from brass rather than the bronze alloys used further up the range.
Detail 04
Brass construction
Brighter and shorter-decaying than bronze. Simple, consistent sound that doesn't open up much with hard playing.
Detail 05
Around $100 a pair
Roughly a quarter of pro hi-hat pricing. Expect a usable sound, not a nuanced one.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01No hi-hat stand or clutch included — you need both to mount these
- 02Check your stand's clutch fits the top cymbal's hole
- 0313-inch hats sit lower than 14s; expect to re-set your stand height
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Do these come with a hi-hat stand?
No. This is the cymbal pair only. You supply the stand and clutch.
02What's the difference between 13-inch and 14-inch hi-hats?
13s are tighter, quicker, and quieter with less wash. 14s are the standard size and project more under a band.
03Are both the top and bottom cymbal included?
Yes, this is a matched pair — top and bottom.
04Will these hold up for a beginner?
For practice and light playing, yes. Heavy edge-crashing shortens the life of any brass cymbal.
