Sabian's Description: <<< - >>>
Review: "Comprising a brilliant-finished 8" HH Leopard splash top (which, unlike the 10" used in combination with the Chinese above, wasn't the least bit clangy) and a bell-less 8" Radia Bell Disc bottom, these little guys are too small for use as a main hi-hat. But they would be swell when used as remotes, since their sound would contrast that of any standard-size pairs. Predictably, their chick sound was fast and crisp, as was their "bark." Terry uses these as auxiliary hats, clamped shut, placed to the immediate right of his snare drum, where many drummers would place a bass drum-mounted cowbell."
