Sabian Artisan Elite 16” Hi-hats

Serial nr: #164

The 16" Sabian Artisan Elite Hats are skillfully handcrafted at every step using elements of cymbal-making even the most traditional cymbal companies have abandoned, new Artisan Elite cymbals take Artisan deeper, darker, dirtier. Tonally, drummers would not be far off the mark to consider them the black sheep of the Artisan family. Extensive multi-peen and high-density hammering is one of the factors that contribute to the Elite sound, resulting in tone that is lower-pitched and drier than other Artisan cymbals. Their unique lathing and flatter, lower profile bell also result in woody bell tone that is more integrated into the overall cymbal sound than other Artisan models.
