Sabian PROTOTYPE 2002 13” Sound Edge X-Celerator Hihats 821 1147 g CLEAN CRISP
What the hell? These are kinda’ crazy!! I have never seen this before. Sabian PROTOTYPE 2002 Alloy Sound Edge style X-Celerator Hihats in 13s”!! And they do indeed have that crisp and clean sounding Paiste Sound Edge-like tone. But they’re Sabians! And Sabian did a damn nice job on these custom 13s”! 821 and 1147 grams combined with the classic rippled Sound Edge bottom cymbal lend a great bone-crunching CHICK to this Prototype pair. Now add the quickness and fast articulation of 13s” and you have a unique pair of Sabian Prototype Hihats that is very fast and Paiste-like. Without paying that Paiste price. Bright and dark overtones present. Clean, crisp, articulate cutting attack that works beautifully in a mix. No issues. Light use. Great shape. It is a lot of fun to play something unique!
