General
As one of the 'big four' cymbal manufacturers (together with Zildjian, Paiste and Meinl), Sabian has long since proven that their great reputation is entirely justified. But while many cymbal manufacturers tend to forget beginning drummers (or drummers on a tight budget), Sabian has always catered to professionals and beginners alike with many excellent choices in both high-end and budget-friendly cymbals.
Sabian B8 Pro 14-inch medium hi-hats: affordable bronze cymbals
The Sabian B8 line of cymbals is known world-wide as one of the best series of affordable cymbals. All cymbals in this line are made of B8 bronze (hence the name), and the combination of quality materials and attention to detail makes B8 cymbals a great choice for both beginners and advanced drummers on a budget. This B8 Pro line is a slightly upgraded version of those fantastic cymbals, adding a brilliant finish to the mix!
These 14-inch medium hi-hats consist of a medium-weight top and a heavy bottom. This combination ensures both excellent stick definition for a tight closed sound, a bright pedal 'chick', and an impressively rich sound when played open. The bright finish adds a welcome bit of visual flair and makes the sound ever-so-slightly brighter. This is a pair of very versatile hi-hats that will make you forget their gentle price-point.
