Sabian's Description: <<< - >>>
Review: "These hats both feature a thin top cymbal over a medium-weight bottom, which makes them light on the feet. For articulations, they have moderate stick definition. This makes them suitable for a variety of situations, including jazz, funk, and even lighter styles of rock. The Apollo Hats have a fat sound to them because of how thin they are. Like the other cymbals in the Big & Ugly collection, they are dry and dirty sounding; they aren’t very splashy or wet. The 14” hats are higher in pitch compared to the 16”. The 16” have a slightly fatter sound and quieter volume. The two sizes are a good alternative to each other and allow drummers to pick whichever sound and feel suits them, however, 15” would be a nice addition to the line-up. As they are, either the 14” or the 16” can easily serve as a versatile and reliable main hi-hat pair."
