Review: "
Even when you jump from the 13" to the 15" models, the Artisan hi-hats feel consistent, while the sound difference is what you would expect going from smaller to larger hi-hats. I used the 13", 14", and 15" pairs on the same jazz gig and found them all appropriate, depending on the sound I was going for. The 13" set was tight, but without too much "chick." When played loosely, they had a nice dark, simmering (not shimmering) wash that was easy to control. I found the pair to be surprisingly warm for their smaller size, even though the medium/heavy weight might lead you to think they'd sound brighter. I also used these hats on a funk ses- sion, and they were ideal. Their volume was easy to control, and the stick sound was dark and articulate. The open-to-closed "bark" sound was sharp, helping to make everything else I played sound even tighter and more groovy.
