Description

The Sabian Artisan series represent real quality. The tone and timbre of these symbals is stunning, they have a great resonance and a balanced tone thats sought after by modern musicians at all levels. The Sabian 15″ Artisan Hi Hats have a dark feel and a rich low end.

Here’s what Sabian have to say about the Artisan Hi-Hats

Following the recent introduction of 16-inch and 18-inch Artisan crashes to its Vault Collection, SABIAN is pleased to debut Artisan hi-hats in 13-inch, 14-inch, and 15-inch sizes. Consisting of a medium top and heavy bottom, these pairings feature high-density hand hammering with a touch of innovation to deliver a dry, dark and complex traditional tone with a touch more character and great sticking response. The 14-inch pairing delivers a combination of soft, warm sticking and pedal response; the 13-inch set is tighter, more defined; and the 15-inch produces a bigger, deeper, slushier sound that makes it ideal for players seeking a fatter, funkier sound. These cymbals will be on display at the 2009 NAMM Show in Anaheim, Calif., January 15 – 18, 2009 at the SABIAN booth, number 3254.

“Artisan Hats are traditional in every sense of the word, but we’ve enhanced their response with a touch of innovation,” said SABIAN master product specialist Mark Love. “The result is – like the Artisan ride and crashes – a soft sticking feel and a response that is deep, dark and funky, but with an edgy ‘bite.’ Funk, blues, jazz and groove drummers in general will find these have great tone and feel.”

Sabian

Sabian is one of the world’s leading cymbal manufacturers, known for combining traditional craftsmanship with modern innovation. Founded in 1981 by Robert Zildjian after the famous split in the Zildjian family, Sabian quickly established itself as a major force in cymbal design. Based in Canada, the brand built its reputation by working closely with drummers and constantly evolving its sound, rather than sticking rigidly to tradition.

Sabian cymbals are known for their versatility, offering everything from bright, cutting models for rock and metal to darker, more complex tones suited to jazz and studio work. Popular ranges include AA, AAX, HH, and HHX, each designed to deliver different tonal characteristics, from modern projection to vintage warmth. Sabian also produces a wide variety of effects cymbals, splash cymbals, chinas, and stacks, allowing drummers to expand their sound and create unique textures.

What Sabian does particularly well is giving drummers choice and control. Their cymbals respond consistently, project clearly, and sit well in a mix, whether live or in the studio. For drummers looking to shape their own sound with a wide palette of tones and modern design, Sabian remains one of the most flexible and forward-thinking cymbal brands available.

Cymbals

Cymbals add accents, timekeeping, colour and dynamics to a drum setup. This category includes hi-hats, rides, crashes, splashes, Chinas and packs, each with different sizes, weights, profiles, alloys, hammering and finishes. Compare stick definition, wash, sustain, response, volume and how the cymbal will blend with the kit and musical style. A cymbal’s sound also depends on mounting and playing technique. Check the exact type and diameter, and remember that cymbal stands, bags and felts may need to be purchased separately.

Hi-Hats

Hi-hats use a pair of cymbals operated by a foot pedal for timekeeping, accents and changing degrees of openness. Compare diameter, top and bottom weights, profile, edge response, chick sound, stick definition and how quickly the cymbals open and close. Some listings are a matched pair, while others describe an individual top or bottom cymbal. Check the wording carefully and remember that a hi-hat stand, clutch, felts and accessories may not be included. The right pair should complement the drummer’s touch, volume and musical style.
