Review: "If you've ever played "old K" hats, you know that, in general, they had a nice, warm stick sound with lots of personality. The only troubling characteristic was that the "chick" sound could be a bit lacking. (There are bunch of different reasons for this, which we won't go into here.) Sure, in an acoustic trio setting you don't want too much chick. But in many cases those hats were just plain mushy. You really had to know your hats and know how to make them work.

The K Constantinople hats are a breakthrough. Not only do they have that very dark, rich stick sound associated with the old-timers, they also have a consistent, nicely balanced chick. It's a pleasure to play brushes on a snare drum and listen to these hats chip away on the 2 and 4. As for the splash sound, it's delicate, with even an "antique" quality to the sustain. Oh, and riding on these hats is simply inspiring.

If you're doing a gig with even a hint of jazz, or looking for a little more attitude in your hats, these bad boys are the answer."
