Sabian's Description: <<< - >>>
Review: "Let’s start with the similarities first. Both the 13" and 14" sets had a heavy lathed bottom with a medium-weight, lightly-hammered top. Both produced a great “chick” sound when played against the ride or the 18" “crash-ride.” When played open, they created a booming wash that simply sizzled. (This was especially true of the 14" hats.)
The 13" hats, by virtue of their size, had a tight-bodied tone without being clunky, which I felt could work great for pop and jazz bands. With the 14" hats, I was impressed by the constant, dry stream of noise they created, even when played closed. I had no trouble making myself heard when I played in an unmiked setting. And when I put my arm into it, look out! These are very versatile cymbals that would be right at home in any setting from a pop act to a medium-heavy rock band."
