Review: "Two different pairs of hi hat cymbals were sent along for me to play. The 'Rock Sizzle' ones (£157) I had actually seen a couple of years ago but in a slightly different form. They are normally shaped but with a pair of holes drilled into the bell to let the air out, and four pairs of rivets fitted to the bottom cymbal to give some more sustain. These rivets are in twos about an inch apart and 1½ inches in from the edge, spaced equidistantly around the circumference. They contribute a little 'zing' to the tone, but you don't really notice them until you begin to hit hard. I really liked the effect they had on the 'bark' of the hi hat; they really made it easy to get a very long 'tear' sound."
