Review: "There are two sets of hats. We tried the standard 14"s first. Partially opening them and attacking with the shoulder of the stick was encouragingly effective - hissy and thick and not at all frail or tinny. Likewise, playing opened-closed jazz rhythm sounded authentic and breezy. These were the closest to proper bronze cymbals of the whole collection.

The closed sound is where the cymbals are a little lacking in character and edge. In fact everything about the hats works fine except the pedalled 'chick'. However much we angled the bottom cymbal, when we stomped our feet down we got a relatively feeble 'chip'."
