Review: "Zildjian's press release states that these hi-hat cymbals are "filled with character," and that they "summon the memory of 'Mr. Hi-Hat' himself, Papa Jo Jones." A lofty claim, indeed.
If that claim brings to mind a swing ride in the classic "spang a lang" tradition, these cymbals will serve beautifully. The thin top and medium bottom combine to create a satisfying, breathy stick sound, with a shimmering wash that fattens up the beat and adds character. They also produce a very quick response. What they can't do is create the biting, funky "chick" sound that heavier cymbals would. (Papa Jo didn't play Chili Peppers licks.) But they'd sure sound sweet on a jazz date, a moderate-volume pop gig, a studio session, or anywhere else where a killer "chick" isn't a high priority."
