Review: "These 14" hand-hammered hi-hats follow on from the already-released 13" version and combine a heavy Brilliant cymbal with a slightly thinner unlathed Extra Dry one. The idea is that either cymbal can be mounted on top or bottom.
Roddy's Serpents hi-hats are a two-in-one package. With the unlathed cymbal on top you get a loud and clear response with a thickly dark tonality. It's a pretty heavy pairing, so you get plenty of sharpness when pedalling and the shoop/bark is big and dusky.
Now if you invert them so the heavier Brilliant cymbal is on top the sound is treblier. In fact the half-open smashed sound will loosen your ear wax - a piercing, almost shrill blast. Yet through it all there is a smooth tone, clean and bright, almost sweet. This is a versatile double set-up that will favour many styles, not just rock and metal but anywhere that you appreciate a decent amount of ready volume with flexibility."
