Crafted from heavier gauge phosphor bronze, SABIAN 8″ Center Hammered Triangles allow for more projection than current triangles, and offer more clarity in any performance venue. In addition, the dense center hammering technique produces a rich timbre with overtones, rather than a single penetrating pitch. For occasions where a consistency of timbre is required – such as a sequence of notes – SABIAN has provided unhammered areas at the corners where percussionists typically play for this effect. For a single rich sound, percussionists can play on the multi-surfaced, center-hammered area.
