Review: Weighing in at a lovely 1192 grams for the Top Cymbal, and 1260 grams for the Bottom Cymbal, these Colorsound Hats play like Medium Thin DRY Hats. They may be called "Heavy Hats" but they don't play heavy. The tone is semi-dark and YES, it's DRY...but it's ALSO mellooooooow. These are unique sounding Paistes---I can't think of any other hihats in the catalogue that sound like these. And being 15's they're perfect for laying down huge freight-train-a'-comin' grooves!! Strong chick tone, clean and focused, great articulation, definitely DRY, with a fast decay....and mellow. THAT's these hihats. Unique. And VERY HARD TO FIND THESE DAYS THIS RED! You can use these Hard to Find 2000 Colorsounds for whatever your heart's desire. Rock, pop, definitely funk and fusion, reggae, metal, drum and bass, jungle grooves, R&B and hip-hop, and definitely recording. Use them ANYTIME you need a great clean Paiste tone that is lower in pitch, focused, and all around mellow.
