Review: "Particularly with the hi-hats. The first thing an engineer will do to them in a studio is wind out the bottom end, making them sound tighter, more crisp and sibilant. No such knob twiddling will be required of the B8+ set, however. They have a wonderfully balanced, responsive sound which belies their price tag, and players investigating top rated brands should forget the inherent snobbery which often affects us consumers, and at least try them. (I well remember Stewart Copeland copping eight pairs of similarly rated Zanki hi-hats from a disbelieving shop assistant a few years back.)"
