Zildjian's Description: <<< - >>>
Review: "The hats were a bit heavier than I expected, despite the thin/medium pairing. However, this helped them to produce a solid, warm "chick" that cut through when played with the foot.
When played with a stick, the hats were high in pitch, with a fairly wet, dark sizzle. They sounded very precise when played tightly closed, and they offered increasing sloshiness, as they were opened. Foot splashes were particularly effective with these cymbals, with enough body to stand up against the various rides.
The relatively high pitch of the 13" K Constantinople hi-hats may not suit every player. But once I got accustomed to it, they proved quite effective."

Review: "The 13" hi-hats are, in a single word, amazing. Closed, they have a soft and delicate tone, without sounding mushy. When played with brushes they are almost feather-like and stepping brings a dry, warm 'chick' sound. However, they open for a sizzling wash that quickly reaches a roar, while the crunch that they deliver when they are half open is much thicker-sounding than their diameter would suggest. They never sound anything less than eloquent and musical, and are an excellent and incredibly versatile pair of hats."
