Review: "Much the same thing can be said of the hi-hats. I must admit to a slight sigh of relief when I lifted this pair of 14" hi-hats from their bag. Being that this range is specifically designed for rock, I was fully expecting a couple of histrionically proportioned 15" manhole covers. Why do people bother with those things? They're not significantly louder than 14" hi-hats, just harder to control.
Neither control nor volume presents any problem with this pair of cymbals. They lack some of the depth of character present in the ride, but in terms of power and projection they are at least its equal.

There's a suggestion of clanginess from the top cymbal, something I find deeply annoying in hi-hats, but when they're played in the manner for which they are fitted (ie. damned hard), you have difficulty hearing yourself think, let alone pick out a few low-level imperfections.
In terms of foot control, open/closed accents are passable if not quite as accurate or sharp as I'd like. There are some rather tiresome overtones that hang around after you've put your foot down.
