Review: "Hats are stunningly good too, and capable of dealing with slightly more aggressive forearms than some of the others in the line. The 13"s are focused and super-crisp, with a rewardingly crisp chick tone when pedalled, while the 14"s deliver a richer mid-range, more crunch and volume and are better suited to louder applications."

Review written by The MusicRadar Team ("Zildjian Armand Hi-Hats 13" review", musicradar.com, November 22, 2007)

Review: "Armand series hi-hats are available in 13" and 14" models. Both are based on the “New Beat” hi-hat formula of matching a thinner top cymbal with a heavier bottom —in this case, medium-thin tops with medium bottoms.

The 13" Armand hats have a reasonable amount of body for their size, but the volume is greatly reduced. They’d be fine in a low-volume, acoustic situation (like a jazz trio), but they’d probably need to be miked otherwise."
