Sabian 14" XSR Monarch Hi-Hat Cymbals

The Sabian XSR Monarch 14" Hi‑Hats deliver exceptional control, articulation, and fat tonal character, making them an outstanding choice for drummers who value precision and musical definition. Designed with an inherently dry response, these hi‑hats produce a crisp, woody stick sound that remains focused and articulate across a wide dynamic range.

Constructed from professional‑grade B20 bronze, the Monarch Hi‑Hats feature a thin top cymbal paired with a medium‑weight bottom, creating a tight, responsive feel with a clear, authoritative “chick.” This weight combination enhances stick clarity while maintaining warmth and depth, making these hi‑hats particularly well suited for groove‑focused styles, recording environments, and modern live performance where control and definition are essential.

As part of the Sabian XSR Series, the Monarch Hi‑Hats blend traditional craftsmanship with modern consistency, offering a refined sound that performs reliably in both studio and stage applications.
