Bought these Hats as an alternative sound to my amazing Paiste 14" Dark Energy Hi-Hats, was not disappointed, I have only ever played paiste since I began drumming 10 years ago, nothing else compares in my opinion. These hats first off, are beautiful in appearance ( I especially like the raw underside of the bell on both cymbals).
Being 15" these are naturally lower in pitch than 14s. They have a rich, glassy tone with a great chunky sound when played on the edge, they also have a beautiful, deep chick sound. Perfect hats for a bigger sound that is not too overpowering.
