Review: "Paiste says that these small hi-hat cymbals are designed to be used in either special-effect or primary hi-hat applications. The 10" and 12"models might work in either application, since they offered a clear and audible "chick" sound and a solid closed-cymbal ride sound, and they were really great for quick, funky hi-hat "barks." Their weakness came when I played traditional open/closed jazz ride patterns on them; there wasn't quite enough metal in the top cymbals to give the open sound enough sustain."
