Review: "The 13" medium hi-hats sounded fabulous when played with sticks: sweet, clean, moderately low in pitch, and very quick. Their "bark" was smooth and hissy rather than aggressive. They were just a joy to play in all respects but one: the elusive "chick" sound. They didn't have much. Although described as "medium" weight, they seemed very light and thin. Such hi-hats simply aren't capable of producing the same sound when closed as heavier cymbals can. It's a matter of physics.
The "chick" the 13"s did produce would probably be more than sufficient for a low-volume lounge or jazz gig. And considering how much I liked every other aspect of these hi-hats, I'd go to great lengths to try to enhance their "chick" performance for all other musical applications. I'd use a rubber cup instead of a felt washer to support the bottom cymbal, and a clutch with rubber grips to hold the top one. I'd also adjust the tilter carefully to maximize its effect. The effort would be worth it."
