Review: "The 14in hi-hats (£95/pair) are certainly loud enough. When pedalled, the "chick" is loud and clear; when struck open then closed (or "snatched") the response is very clean and sharp. Quite funky. But again they suffer from being a little bit too low in pitch for my liking — in some respects, dullish. For instance, when the bell is tapped while they're closed, there's very little happening. Mind you, if you open the cymbals and tap the top one the sound is that slightly unrefined tone of a dinner-gong in a Torquay guesthouse. Fruity."
