The Dark Side of the Artisans
The Sabian Artisan Elite hi-hats use age-old traditional handcrafting to deliver a sound that's deeper, darker, and more complex than any Sabian Artisan hats that have come before. The Artisan Elites utilize extensive multi-peen, high-density hammering. This also contributes to the hats' solid foot. And the Sabian Artisan Elite hi-hats boast an unlathed appearance for a look that matches perfectly with their sound.
