Review: "The hi-hats also bore up well to a severe thrashing. Plenty of chip as the foot brought the cymbals tightly together, plenty of chiming splash as the foot gently brought the cymbals lightly together and then, as quickly, apart.

The top cymbal responded well to the stick, a nice tight ping with lots of top end and no hint of the renegade drainpipe sound. The bell gave a surprisingly bright and distinct tone, just the ticket for the pseudo-triangle rhythm.

The bottom cymbal meanwhile contained a much deeper, more sharply defined ping, so anyone adventurous enough to attempt the Buddy Rich-style of using both cymbals can be sure of being heard.
