I found the Safari hats a bit too trashy to use as the main hi-hats  in  my  acoustic  setup.  But  more  and  more  drummers  are adding  a  second  set  of  hats  to  their  kits,  and  I’d  certainly  recommend  checking  these  out  for  that  purpose.  And  when  I applied  them  to  my  electronic  setup,  they  really came  alive, blending  right  in  with  some  of  my  non traditional-sounding kits."
