'''Review:''' "The 13" regular hi-hats are outstanding for applications where you need a precise, ultra-tight sound. They also deliver a crisp, solid foot “chick.” Their thickness gives them a full-bodied tone, with a high pitch for bright attack and excellent stick articulation. The 14" Solid hats produced the best all-around sound with a strong chick, full-bodied closed-hat definition, a mean slosh, and great overall attack and cut. The 14" regular hats are more mid-range sounding, with similar performance characteristics to the Solids. All three sets of APX hi-hats would work well for most louder musical styles." | '''Review:''' "The 13" regular hi-hats are outstanding for applications where you need a precise, ultra-tight sound.
