Paiste's Description: <<< - >>>
Review: "The 14" Sound Edge Hi-Hats were my favorites in the group. Falling more or less in between the other two models in terms of weight and thickness, they gave a clean, cutting chick with no possibility of airlock, and they offered better-than-average stick sound and choke capabilities."

Review written by Rick Van Horn ("Product Close-Up - Paiste Alpha Cymbals", Modern Drummer, Nov. 1992, p. 44)

Review: "Meanwhile the 14" Sound Edge hi-hats exhibited the distinct magnified, slightly hollow sound of their design."
