Sabian's Description: <<< - >>>
Review: "The 13" and 14" hi-hats provided clean, crisp stick articulation. The overall sound was thick, warm and when the hats were played with force, not overbearingly piercing. Both sets of hats have smooth AA qualities mixed with the darker HHX sound. The 13" hats had a slightly higher-pitched tone than the 14" models. Both sizes produced a well-defined "chick" with the foot."

Review: (Brilliant finish versions) "The 13" and 14" hi-hats were excellent. The 14s had more roar, while the 13s offered more sizzle. Although both pairs were very versatile, the 14s were decidedly louder and more commanding. If I had to pick a pair for all-around playing, it would be the 13s, but neither size sounded clangy, nasal, or thin, despite the cymbals' slightly heavier weight."
