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 14" models were my favorites. (I say "models" because we received both a regular and a Brilliant top cymbal to match with the same bottom cymbal.) The sound was rich and full, with the Brilliant model being just a bit less cutting and sharp than its regular counterpart. I might use the Brilliant version for acoustic jazz gigs and the regular one for more pop-oriented music."
