Paiste's Description: <<< - >>>
Review: ""Light" is right! Available in 13" and 14" pairs, these guys are super-controlled, with a nice balance among the closed, open, and foot-splash sounds. The 13"-ers in particular are extremely delicate, with a pleasant but whispery chick. The 14" pair's chick is tight, but slightly stronger. Unlike some hi-hats with a thin top cymbal, these didn't produce that annoying pitch bend or "whine" you get when you clamp down with strong foot pressure. Dimensions Light hats would be nice fora small-group jazz setting or for studio work where a little extra separation between the hats and the rest of the kit is desired."
