Review: Woody, light-sounding hats. Warm and able to blend with the rest of the band/quartet/trio with ease. These may be the best 14" hats I've ever encountered for quick work that can only be done on a 13" pair. These go well with my Traditionals 22" Light Ride.
Review written by Bluejacketsfan
Review: "The Traditional medium light hi-hats suggest a kind of metallurgical inter-cultural marriage. The top cymbal is thin and bronzey. The thick, dark brown, deeply hammered, but completely unlathed bottom cymbal looks like a miniature version of Paiste's Dry Dark Ride. Strange as it may seem, though, their union is a happy one, producing a lovely, mellow "chick" sound. When played on the bow with the stick's tip, the result is semi-bright. And on the edge with the shoulder of the stick, it's warm and superbly blended. When struck in the open position and instantly closed—the technique often called a "bark"—they instead produced a more subtle "chup" sound. Like the rest of the series, the Traditional hats are probably best suited to moderate- to low-volume situations."
