Review: "On review is a selection from the Generation X stable. The newest models, two pairs of FX hats, are the only recognisably conventional cymbals of the lot. Available in 8" and 10" diameters, the hats are made from FX9, a tinless blend of copper, zinc, manganese and aluminium.
Unlathed but regularly hammered, they are buffed to a mirror finish. Each bottom cymbal has a pair of punched holes 30mm in from the edge while stencilled tribal graphics adorn the outer faces.
The 8" hats are razor sharp, with little in the way of a conventional note beneath their whiplash attack. In keeping with their diminutive size they react so quickly that just shaking a stick in their general direction seems to provoke a response.
By the same token, though their shrunken diameters might suggest a lack of volume, the high frequencies they produce carry pretty well."
