Paiste's Description: <<< - >>>
Review: The 2002 Medium Hi-Hats can work in many settings. I've recorded with them, and played them in concert, and they were well-suited in both. Being Paiste's top of the line B8 series, they are naturally bright, so they don't need to be heavier, such as Zildjian's New Beats or Sabian's Medium Hats. They cut, but not to the point that they could be considered "loud", and they have nice stick definition when played closed. Played slightly open they have a warm wash. These cymbals can be used in many musical styles, and are among my favorite all-time hi-hats.
