Sabian's Description: <<< - >>>
Review: "The warm yet crisp-sounding attack of the 14-Low Bell hi-hat practically forces a funky sixteenth-note pattern, reminiscent of Isaac Hayes' legendary 'Theme From Shaft.' The brighter, full accents sit perfectly over the finely acoustic pattern of lighter strokes. Equally impressive are the very precise chick strokes and splashed foot hits, which make this model a truly great jazz hi-hat. Even up to moderate volumes, everything is possible with this fine hi-hat. It becomes louder with the High Bell version, yet it can just as easily shine quietly with its brighter and more biting chicks and attacks. A special feature here is that the undersides are left rough. More fullness, a more brilliant attack, and an extra portion of power can be generated depending on the choice of sticks and playing style. Nevertheless, it always retains the warm and full basic character, which is simply transmitted ultra-precisely to every playing style by Jojo Mayer."
