'''Review:''' "These surprised me. Not that they don't live up to their name; they are indeed powerful. But I was expecting something raw and clangy. What I got was quite musical. The 14" pair produces a bright but fairly full-bodied stick sound and a strong, solid chick. Their big (15") brothers gen-erate a commanding stick sound when closed and an excellent hard-rock "sloshed" sound when half-open. Their low-pitched chick sound reminded me of small orchestral cymbals. Not being accustomed to using such large hi-hats, I was conscious of the relatively heavy 15" top cymbal's resistance against the hi-hat stand's foot-pedal action. Both sizes would be good for rock or high-octane funk, but the 15" model could be a little tough to control in low-volume situations."<br> | '''Review:''' "These surprised me.
