Review: "I doubt that many drummers would choose the 8" Micro Hats as a main hi-hat (although Pat Mastelotto has with King Crimson). They're just too small to produce anything other than a "toy cymbal" sound—which would not be acceptable for general use. On the other hand, as a special effect they could fit right into that small-cymbal trend I mentioned earlier. Placed on an auxiliary pedal, they could provide the hi-hat equivalent of a small splash cymbal—making the "miniaturization" of cymbals complete."
