'''Review:''' "Let’s start with the similarities first. Both the 13" and 14" sets had a heavy lathed bottom with a medium-weight, lightly-hammered top. Both produced a great “chick” sound when played against  the  ride  or  the  18"  “crash-ride.”  When  played  open, they  created  a  booming  wash  that  simply  sizzled.  (This  was especially true of the 14" hats.)<br>

The  13"  hats,  by  virtue  of  their  size,  had  a  tight-bodied  tone without being clunky, which I felt could work great for pop and jazz bands. With the 14" hats, I was impressed by the constant, dry  stream  of  noise  they  created,  even  when  played  closed.  I had  no  trouble  making  myself  heard  when  I  played  in  an unmiked  setting.  And  when  I  put  my  arm  into  it,  look  out! These  are  very  versatile  cymbals  that  would  be  right  at  home in any setting from a pop act to a medium-heavy rock band." <br>
