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
Natural finish
Unpolished surface. Warmer and less cutting than a brilliant finish hat of the same size.
Detail 03
Vault Artisan line
SABIAN's hand-worked top tier. Priced and built for professional recording and performance use.
Detail 04
Hi-hat pair
Top and bottom cymbals, matched. You are buying both, not a single cymbal.
Detail 05

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Should I get 15-inch instead of 14-inch hats?
Choose 15 if you want lower pitch and more open wash. Stay at 14 for tighter, faster, more cutting hat sounds.
02Does this include both cymbals?
Yes. Hi-hats are sold as a matched top and bottom pair.
03Will these work for loud rock?
They can, but the wider, washier character suits jazz and studio work more than tight aggressive backbeats.
04Natural or brilliant finish — which is better?
Neither is better. Natural is warmer and less bright. Brilliant cuts more. This pair is natural finish.
