Review: These are very tight sounding hi-hats. Their weights do give them more of a presence than one would expect from the small size. They have lots of cut, and the pitch is pleasing. But drummers needing a loose, sloshy sort of sound that larger hats are capable of might be disappointed.
- Review written by Bluejacketsfan
Review: "Copeland's 12" hats are novel in that Paiste has used different alloys for the top and bottom cymbals. The top is cast from B20 '602' bell bronze (CuSn20) and the bottom from Paiste's Signature alloy, which is closer to B15.
Both are certainly heavy cymbals, but the alloys and finish look similar in colour, the top cymbal having slightly broader lathing underneath.
The top also has a smaller, peakier bell, while the bottom's bell is broader and rounder, more typical and handy for seating the pair. Copeland's buccaneering Rhythmatist logo adds a final flourish.
Although the two cymbals are similar in weight the top is significantly deeper in pitch than the bottom, which is high and pingy.
The B20 bronze of the top hat has a slightly warmer tone than the bottom Signature bronze, known for its brilliance. Thus the bottom provides the cut while the top gives the smoother, darker playing surface.
The result is that played closed there is still a loud and clear stick sound, while the pedalled 'chip' is urgent and incisive.
The difference in the two cymbals is exaggerated also by the bell profiles, the top cymbal's rather smaller bell having a tinklier sound. But let's not forget these are small 12" hats and so are always going to be agile and tightly focused.
Whether played closed or open, jazzy 10-to-10 style, they are always fleet and assertive, like Copeland himself. But the lower pitch of the top cymbal makes sure they retain a warmth, so there is no danger of them ever being thin and tinny.
They respond well to numerous styles, from old-fashioned Papa Jo Jones swing right up to post-electro Mark Guiliana or Chris Dave cutting-edge beats. Being small they are also suited to life as a secondary pair, or perhaps mounted on a remote pedal centrally, Bill Bruford style."
