Sabian's Description: <<< - >>>
Review: "These hi-hats have a much more detailed opening and closing sound than the AA hi-hats, though there is not quite as much stick or foot sound (unless you opt for a heavier pair). These cymbals would be a good choice for drummers who, like Stewart Copeland, prefer a very fast response from the hi-hats, rather than a hard stick sound. The sound is remarkably warm, with a large variety of overtones - a classic jazz sound. The brilliant finish darkens the amber of the HH metal, making it look more like "Old K.s."
Review written by Chip Stern (Modern Drummer, June 1984, pg. 72)
Review: "The hi-hats also bore up well to a severe thrashing. Plenty of chip as the foot brought the cymbals tightly together, plenty of chiming splash as the foot gently brought the cymbals lightly together and then, as quickly, apart.
The top cymbal responded well to the stick, a nice tight ping with lots of top end and no hint of the renegade drainpipe sound. The bell gave a surprisingly bright and distinct tone, just the ticket for the pseudo-triangle rhythm.
The bottom cymbal meanwhile contained a much deeper, more sharply defined ping, so anyone adventurous enough to attempt the Buddy Rich-style of using both cymbals can be sure of being heard.
