Review: "Many of the hi-hats I've played that have been described as "bright" have also been somewhat brittle sounding. This is because higher pitches usually come from thicker cymbals, which tend to have fewer overtones. But the Hand Hammered Bright Hats have plenty of shimmering overtones, resulting in fat "chick" sounds when played with a pedal, and meaty ride sounds when played with a stick. They're especially nice when played just a little bit loose for that John Bonham "Rock And Roll" sound. The Bright Hats are available in 13" and 14" sizes, and each consists of a very heavy bottom cymbal with a medium-weight top.
The 13" version has a nice "chick" sound and a reasonably full sound when played with sticks, with quick response for open hi-hat "barks." It may be somewhat thin-sounding for certain applications, but would be fine in acoustic settings in which one wanted a high-pitched sound."
