Review: "The 14" Encore hi-hats are thinner than their older brothers, making their pitch a bit lower. They also have more overtones, which combines to give the Encore hats a slightly darker quality than the original DeJohnettes. The new models also feature larger bells, which don't produce the almost anvil-like clang of the originals. The "chick" sound is very similar on both versions, with the Encores being a bit darker, but what really distinguishes the new models is their ability to generate a good swishy sound when in the half-open position—a sound that was near-impossible with the original DeJohnette hi-hats. Overall, the new hi-hats produce darker, fatter sounds than the more metallic-sounding originals (making the Encores better-suited for mainstream jazz playing while the previous version might work better for rock or funk settings.)
