Review: "Last year, I was lucky enough to review the full line of K Sweet cymbals shortly after their release. The entire set shared a crisp, punchy presence balanced by the K line’s dark richness. There are dozens of cymbal series and models that were created to try and marry traditionally vintage and modern sounds, and I thought the first run of K Sweets came closer to nailing that vibe than most.
Notably absent from that set, however, was a set of 14” hats. The K Sweets originally rolled out with only 15” and 16” models, which matched the series’ full and generous tones. This year, Zildjian responded to player requests with the release of a 14” pair.
Like their larger siblings, the 14” K Sweet Hi-Hats are tight and crisp with a little bit of complexity in the middle. They have some built-in darkness which helps them feel more controlled, even when played open, but there’s enough presence in the mid-range to keep them afloat in loud settings.
I think this is another in a great run of hi-hats from Zildjian that would work in just about any scenario. I found them to be extremely versatile and satisfying no matter where I brought them. This is a great pair of hats."
