Review: "The hi-hats were my least favorite in this group. They were quite thin, and as a result produced a very weak "chick" sound. This is unavoidable with thin cymbals, but it's unfortunate because that hi-hat sound is so important to the development of playing technique for a student drummer. The cymbals did sound accept- able when played in the closed position with sticks (as on rock patterns) or on open/closed swing patterns.

Just as an aside, I experimented with combining the top cymbal of the C6000 hi-hats with the bottom cymbal from the 25th Anniversary Series. The results were quite impressive: I got much more "chick" than the C6000s alone could produce, and much nicer sticking response and sound than the 25th Anniversary models offered. This combination might be something for Camber to consider offering as a special option similar to the combination hi-hat packages offered by several of the major brands."
