Review: "With a heavy bottom cymbal matched to a fairly thin top, this hi-hat set offers excellent versatility and general-purpose application. The top cymbal was responsive enough to respond to brush playing or light sticking for jazz and other low-volume work, while the heavy bottom cymbal helped to produce a good, distinct "chick" sound. The two cymbals worked well together to facilitate washy, half-open rock ride patterns or quick, funky open/closed patterns. For all but the most delicate of applications, this would be an excellent all-purpose hi-hat choice."
