Sabian A1502 Artisan 15" Hi-Hats

Dark Textured Hi-Hat Tone with Smooth, Controlled Response

The Sabian Artisan 15 inch Hi-Hats deliver a slightly deeper and fuller voice than the 14 inch model, while keeping the same dry, dark tonal character and excellent sticking clarity. Crafted from hand-hammered B20 alloy, they produce a soft, responsive feel under both stick and pedal, allowing nuanced articulation and expressive dynamic control. The larger size adds warmth, body and a more pronounced chick, while still maintaining dry definition and a refined foot response. When partially open, they deliver a rich, textured wash that feels musical without overwhelming the groove, making them suitable for acoustic, jazz, R&B and atmospheric playing styles.

At Riffs & Licks Music, we think these hi-hats offer a perfect balance of dark warmth, sticking clarity and expressive control.
