Review: "As with all of the cymbals here, the main bulk of the bronze is around the centre of the cymbal and, especially on the hi-hats, should prove to be quite cutting. It takes no more than a few strokes for this theory to be rubber-stamped.
Playing around a slightly thinner top with some brisk double strokes, the tips can be heard crisp and clear with fine articulation and control. However, still ‘rolling’ atop and pedalling hard, there’s little noticeable pitch bend - it seems the cymbal has little ‘flexing’ that we would normally experience from thinner models.
A quick slice and rapidly opening up the hats reveals more than just a hint of that Turkish darkness. Pedal chicks, half-open sizzles and any number of pleasing onomatopoeic hi-hat tricks are all readily achievable too."
