Review: "The Mel Lewis 1982 13" hi-hats were bright and capable of holding their own within a musical context. While I generally don’t like the light wash that smaller hats produce, these cymbals produced a quick, penetrating sizzle. Their “chick” sound was clean and loud, clearly stating the time for the entire band. Even under the “woosh” of the Lewis ride, it cut through.
At one point I played the hi-hat alone in a practice session. A taut, quick response and a crisp “tsst” sound emanated when the hats were open and shut. I played single strokes and built up to doubles. I loosened up the hats, letting out some steam. In so doing, I discovered a monster tone that was containable but still capable of generating lots of power. That sound convinced me that these hats would be great not only for jazz, but also for funk and hip-hop."
