Review: "This is the latest edition to Zildjian's ultra-hip Re-Mixline, developed in conjunction with drum 'n' bass specialist Zach Danziger. Six tambourine jingles are attached to the top and bottom cymbals, providing an undercurrent of white noise and a sharpening of the sound. True to their Re-Mix lineage, they have a high cutting voice that fits in well with electronic music. At 13" they're slightly smaller than I'm used to, but their sound was still full, with nice, tight stick definition. Played closed, they blended in with my regular cymbal setup. When I opened them up slightly, the jingle sound blended in. The chick sound was also augmented by the jingles. It wasn't quite like laying a tambourine on the top cymbal, but the jingles' effect could definitely be heard.

The best aspect of this setup is that, because the jingles are tied to a hi-hat, they can be fully controlled with one's foot. Since I'm more of a club date and show player, I don't think I'd choose these as my primary hi-hats. However, I'd love to use them with a remote pedal so that I could call on them for accents and patterns."
