Review: "The most intriguing items among our review group were the 13" k Custom Special Dry hi-hats. I'd play these dark and chirpy hi-hats in practically any situation.
The cymbals are hammered, lathed, and left unfinished rather than buffed. This treatment gives them a lot of personality and warmth. They have a strong presence without being obnoxious. They also perform well at various degrees of open versus closed, with traits equally applicable to rock, hip-hop, jungle, country, and jazz. And, at 13", they make outstanding auxiliary hi-hats.
