Zildjian's Description: <<< - >>>
Review: "Next up are the hi-hats, and picking them up you’ll notice just how heavy that bottom hat is. This is sort of the New Beat’s formula though, and a big part of the reason they’re considered by many to be the definition of a hi-hat sound. The resulting tone from the medium/heavy pairing gives us that quintessential solid ‘chick’ when stepped, and yet again, stick definition is a key feature with fast 32nd notes all articulating nicely, followed by the smooth, bright cut of open barks. The size means that these hats obviously aren’t really for rock. They will get sloshy, but trying to play anything heavier than singer-songwriter style grooves makes us feel a bit like Scrappy-Doo turning up to a bar brawl.
As with previous smaller Zildjian hi-hats we’ve tried, the 12s do omit a slight ‘pinginess’ as an overtone, but it’s also this brightness that helps the hats to cut through."
