Review: "The Medium Heavy Hi-hats provided the most middle-of-the-road type of hi-hat sound. They offered very nice closed or open-and-closed (swing) sticking sounds, and a substantial "chick" sound when closed with the foot. I found them quite useful for jazz, ballads, and moderate-volume funk and rock tunes—especially in some of the smaller clubs I play. When more volume was required, my first inclination was to go to the Heavy Hi-hats. They produced a much louder and higher "chick" due to their weight, and they really barked when hit hard on straight rock patterns. But their thickness diminished their quick-choke response, so they didn't lend themselves too well to more intricate, funk-style sticking patterns."
