You put them right next to a hard wall. All I hear is a horrible room with a ton of flutter. Hang a blanket next time at least. ✌️

[@twinsmm1]

To my ear, the Zildjians sounded the most crisp, shimmery, good sizzle on the half open. The Sabian B8s surprised me. They didn't sound too bad (for a B8).

[@Jtdubbzz]

Unfortunately I no longer have my B8’s from 25 years ago but those sounded so good throughout the years. Still loved playing them even after owning sets of Paiste Signature’s and Innovations, Zildjian A’s and Sabien AAX’s lol

[@davidwak680]

I have an XS20 top and an old Zildjian A bottom, think it might be from Rock hats. Sounds great to my ear. Very crispy and responsive.

[@rafaelallenblock]

God the new beats are so much better sounding, not just a little bit but an order of magnitude.

[@paulmiller8367]

A custom master sound 14in Hits real nice all I needed

[@robinhoodwasasocialist.1401]

I’ve only ever heard one pair of new beats that sounded good. Most sound like brass to me. I actually like b8 alloy in hi hats and not other cymbals so I’m gonna say I liked the 2nd best

[@seadkolasinac7220]

Why on Earth would you demonstrate what hi hats sound like and avoid the most common way of hitting them?

[@user-qo5xq8mz9c]

クローズの音は単体だと良い音に聴こえないが、スネア、バスドラとサウンドが厚くなると不思議な事に良い音になる。

[@theDeathJoy]

Comparing a mid-end, low-end and high-end hihat with eachother. What's the purpose?

[@mohddalibinzali1165]

First New beat
Second Xs
Third B8

[@aggelossamaras7849]

you didnt even wash it wtf. you tapped them and thats it?

[@drummerboy2521]

B8 cymbals VS a Cast B20?

[@DrummerGrrrl]

I know! Ha ha ha!

[@regentsaquariums5692]

Crazy people 😂

[@DeltaXY]

Sabian Xs20 is a very polyvalent hihat , exepted the Rock hats
Z new beat extremely incisive and brillant , ideal for funk or reggae
B8 is not comparable with B20 cymbals ..
It’s just my opinion

[@user-op3jg4dv9h]

Cual.sers mejor el xs o el b8

[@duboracle]

What tones or notes have these hihatts ?, i hear a differance but its not a complete note (1/2) tone.

[@zedzero77]

The new beat are by far a better sounding hi-hats in a live band, when recorded its a toss up

[@petermoeller5901]

how is the sound recorded? some phone? those cymbals do not sound like this. sorry, but you wasted your time. and ours.

[@OnYourLeft2023]

It's so funny the differences of opinion. Those New Beats are lightyears better than either of those Sabians. I played on XS20s for 15 years and just got a set of New Beats and holy eff I didn't realize how amateur my sound was until now. To each their own!

[@ConjuntoMarques]

Esta comparación tiene algo de truco o de orientación malversada... tengo xs20 y suenan por mucho, mejor que los otros 2

[@jawoody9745]

Give me Paiste 602 Blue Label Heavys in 13" or 14".

[@siyabongathembinkosimngome8869]

B8 are great sounding fit for the price

[@marcelosantana1344]

Podia ter tocado também com uma baqueta de ponta de náilon para a gente perceber variados tipos de sons no mesmo prato

[@SONORSQ2guy]

New Beats

[@densmoreselim3877]

New Beats! It's original sound of all time

[@timsears1836]

The 14" XS 20 sounds the best I thought , they really werent in the most ideal room for sound but I thought the XS 20s sounded even better than the New Beats....and I have a pair of 14" New Beats!!! they are pretty old though roughly 85-86 when I bought them new... just looking for a new sound....

[@timsears1836]

I already have a xs 20 18" crash (sabian) and a 17" AAX I(sabian) and also a sabian splash just not sure of size) and an older 18" Sabian ( not sure of model) its about 20 yrs old loud & heavy!!! .I have tried the 16" xs 20 but didnt like it. I have never tried the 21" ride xs 20 or the x-celerator 14" hats but am looking into those now...

[@timsears1836]

Mmmm interesting.. thanks for the heads up....

[@neivaldoduarte4576]

Traduzindo: os três são fodas!! Que som!!

[@johnpaulmalpartidaquintana7806]

new beat wins

[@NiMaLindner]

Yeah, I like the new beat too! ;-)

[@martinhrusovsky1733]

If you want budget hats Zildjian ZBT is what you need.

[@antunielbrito9042]

Cada um com sua característica.sao bons.

[@gogo2957]

[@estrellamarinera7530]

I like Sabian Xs..

[@AlephZero69]

You should use an AA hats vs zildjian new beat

[@BarthiArgento]

Useless test if you don’t hit it the common way

[@sparrovski]

Who the fuck plays hi hats like that??!!

[@SuperAggresor]

SABIAN XS!

[@beatlennon743]

Sabían Xs the best, more bright

[@frankfertier34]

the tops are far too tight: it chokes the sound.

[@marcioisrael4772]

Sabian XS20 meu preferido sou fã da Sabian e não curto outros pratos.

[@ConjuntoMarques]

También tengo XS20 y están excelentes

[@martin.official]

Sabian Xs winner.

[@antunielbrito9042]

Se deixar ele um pouco mais solto .

[@AucencioJuarez]

B8 suena más claro

[@nejator]

1 and 3 are OK

[@riskromer9773]

[@theboks3188]
