Review: "The Moderate hi-hats had a great sound —not at all what I'd expect from medium-priced cymbals. The chick sound was clean and even, and the wash between the two was very pleasing. These cymbals didn't have their weights written inside their bells, but it seemed that they were fairly close in weight. As a result, the pitches of the two were rather close together. But this didn't seem to pose any problem or limitation on their performance.
Cosmetically speaking, there appeared to be an extra line of hammering right at the edge of the top cymbal. They looked like small circular marks at the outer edge.
The only criticism I can offer in regard to our review cymbals is that the holes drilled in the hi-hats were almost too small for the hi-hat clutches and bottom-cymbal holders of various stands I tried them on. (This applies to all the hi-hat models I tried.) They didn't completely prevent the cymbals from fitting, but they did make getting them on and off pretty inconvenient. And I couldn't help but wonder if the tight fit might be adversely affecting their sound."
