Review: "The 14″ “regular” hats are both buttery and ballsy. Great definition and macho body are there to substantiate your rocking beats. But the sophistication and sensitivity of these hats is tremendous, and if I was caught on a desert island with only them, I’d be okay.
They play great on face, on shoulder, pinched tight, and wide open. They didn’t squeak; they didn’t honk; they didn’t choke when beaten. I said the Z3 was not a versatile line? I was wrong. The 14″ Z3 hats are versatile. They are Da Bomb."

Review: "The Z3 line offers 14" ($554) and 15" ($606) regular and Mastersound hi-hats. Both versions consist of medium-weight tops and heavy bot- toms. Mastersound bottoms use hammered grooves for a faster and tighter "chick" sound when played with the foot. Both the 14" and 15" Mastersounds were crisper, cleaner, and more articulate than the regular hats. The 14" pair was a bit faster and brighter and had a tad more bite than the 15" hats, but I preferred the added depth, volume, and fullness of the 15" models.
The 14" regular hi-hats were loud, and the 15" regular hi-hats were even louder. Both were more flowing and looser than the Mastersounds, with a deeper "chick" sound and fuller stick articulation. They really screamed when played slightly open."
