Sabian 14 Inch SBR Hi Hats - SBR1402

Sabian 14 Inch SBR Hi Hats – SBR1402

The SBR1402 hi-hats deliver tight, controlled articulation when closed and open up with loud, full projection when separated. These 14-inch cymbals combine bright, focused tonality with the responsiveness of medium weight brass, making them reliable tools for tracking sessions that demand clear definition without sacrificing punch in the mix.

Recording & Mixing Performance

Bright, focused response cuts through recorded mixes with clarity, sitting distinctly in the stereo field without muddying adjacent drum tracks. The hammered and lathed surface finish contributes to crisp articulation and sustained wash, while the brass construction delivers the characteristic sheen and penetrating attack that translates well across mic techniques—overhead, close-mic, or blended setups.

Construction & Materials

Medium weight brass provides a balance between stick definition and projection, preventing the cymbals from sounding thin or overly bright during recording. The hammered and lathed finish creates both visual interest and acoustic properties that support the focused, bright tonal character throughout the dynamic range.
