Sabian Vault Fierce Hi-Hat Cymbal Pair

Sabian Vault Fierce hi-hats were originally designed for Jojo Mayer. This raw-surfaced pairing responds with tight, dark, semi-dry sounds and clear projection. Their raw, unlathed surface and jumbo hammer marks combine to deliver the aggressive low-end clarity and punchy, semi-dry response that projects articulately and musically in any genre. "It is this unique response that has made the Fierce concept a favorite among drummers of all styles," said Mark Love, SABIAN master product specialist:

"The hats' attack is very aggressive with a low bite, which means they are punchy and cutting, yet not metallic sounding. This is more about music than metal, Love said. Sticking is always precise, and the pedal CHICK is strong and articulate. Jojo's Fierce Ride and Crash created such a positive stir, and with so many people commenting about the cymbals on his Weapons for the Modern Drummer DVD, introducing the Fierce Hats was a natural progression."

Mayer said: "We've got a very unique sound with these Fierce Hats. There's a raw aspect and a complex darkness that works well in live and recorded contexts. I've been playing prototypes for about eight years, and wherever I go people ask me, What are those hats? Similar to my Fierce Ride, they're very complex, but great for almost any music. It's great to be part of the adventure of creating these sounds with SABIAN."

Fierce Hats are crafted from SABIAN B20 bronze and are quality protected by the SABIAN two-year warranty program.
