Review: "As beat keepers, the 14" Xist hi-hats ($449) made a fine couple. They produced a clean, sharp stick sound with an overall warmth that rounded out the sound nicely. Unlike the crashes, these cymbals blended into the band sound very well. Their volume range was wide, and their clarity remained true at any volume. When I opened them up during a chorus section, their warmth kept them pleasing to the ear, even as I played them with force. When I kept time on the ride, the Xist hats complemented the groove with a bright, snappy "chick" from my left foot."
