Meinl's Description: <<< - >>>
Review: "Mb20 hi-hat cymbals come in Meinl's Soundwave design, which prevents airlock and maximizes projection. Even when just slightly closed, the 14" and 15" produced exquisite multiple overtones. The bottom hi-hat of each pair was heavier than the top - which itself was not light. (When carried to sessions, the hats serious heft.) This weight, coupled with the brilliant finish, produced great stick response and a clear chick. These full-bodied cymbals were not tinny in any way, even when I clamped them down with my foot pedal as tightly as I could.
As might be expected, the 15" hats had a little more power than the 14" models. Solid, cutting "ticks" could be heard clearly -even with the guitar player pumping out volume. And there was still a noticeable "chick" even when the hats were played with the more aggressive Mb20 rides (though at times I did experience a gap in clarity when playing them with some of the crashes). Conversely, I could hear my sticking patterns on the rides even over the slushy cloud of volume produced by the open hats. And that's saying something, because when the 15" hats were only partially opened, their roar rivaled that of a regular crash (which could be a sound engineer's nightmare)."
