Sabian B8 Pro Medium Hi-Hats are versatile by design to meet the changing demands of drummers. That’s nothing new. The craftsmen at Sabian have been making some of the world’s most modern and innovative cymbals for almost thirty years now.
And these B8 Pro Series cymbals are no different. They empower you to do more musically and creatively while infusing your drumming style with crisp, quality sound that really stands out. Sabian Medium Hi-Hats have a bright pedal chick and clean stick responses that are clear, powerful and penetrating.
Two cymbals, a medium-heavy top and a heavy bottom, work in unison to create the energizing musical accents you’re after. Close the cymbals for tighter, more defined sounds. Open them up for larger and louder sounds. For added effects, you can also alternate between opening and closing the cymbals to create interesting patterns and mixes. B8 Pro Hi-Hats deliver the optimal blend of volume, power and cut so you’re not just seen, but heard over surrounding music and vocals.
Often considered the ultimate cymbal metal, bronze delivers very bright sonic characteristics across a wide variety of musical forms. B8 Pro cymbals are precision crafted using a rapid-tech process called virtual cloning where they are created from master templates to form the consistently bright, focused, and effective sounds of more expensive cymbals. The B8 bronze alloy is fully hammered and totally lathed. The brilliant finish is created by a high-pressure, high-heat polishing process that smoothes the groove edges of the tonal rings, resulting in a smoother, glassier look and sound.
Play Sabian cymbals and you immediately join a special class of drummers that includes legendary names like Neil Peart, Todd Sucherman, Sean Kinney and Joe Vitale.
