Meinl's Description: <<< - >>>
Review: "The medium Soundwave hats (with a scalloped-edged bottom cymbal that prevents airlock) were definitely sharper and more cutting than their standard counterparts. The "chick" sound was also much more up front."

Review: "The 14" Medium Soundwave hats are slightly louder than the standard Medium pair, but possess a similar balance of tonal warmth and power. The Soundwave shape is intended to encourage air to escape from between the cymbals at a quicker rate, for a faster response.

There is a crispness to the Medium Soundwave hats, yet they retain a degree of smoothness, too."
