Sabian B8 14-inch hi-hats

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 14-inch 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.

Sabian's 14-inch B8 hi-hats feature a medium-heavy top cymbal and a heavy bottom cymbal. That gives this pair of hats a crisp sound with great stick and pedal response. It has the famously bright and focused B8 sound that will ensure it blends in nicely with the rest of your cymbal line-up. As this pair is slightly bigger than the 13-inch version, it is a bit louder and its sound is a bit lower in pitch. Finally, the Sabian B8 14-inch hi-hats come in a traditional finish.
