SABIAN 14" Artisan Hat Bottom

SABIAN 14" Artisan Hat Bottom

The SABIAN 14" Artisan Hat Bottom delivers a substantial, controlled feel underfoot with its medium-heavy weight and refined B20 bronze construction. This cymbal functions as the bottom half of a hi-hat pair, engineered to produce articulate, focused response with minimal wash. Designed for drummers seeking clarity and definition in their hi-hat work across jazz, fusion, and contemporary styles.

Construction & Material

Crafted from B20 bronze, this bottom cymbal features a satin finish paired with shallow lathing and high-density hammering that shape its acoustic personality. The shallow lathing and dense hammer work create a controlled, crisp articulation ideal for tight ensemble playing and defined stick definition.

Weight & Response

At 1400g (median weight), this cymbal sits in the medium-heavy bottom classification, providing substantial mass for authoritative stick response and controlled sustain. The added weight ensures secure coupling when paired with a lighter top cymbal, producing a cohesive hi-hat voice without excessive ring or drift.
