Sabian's Description: <<< - >>>
Review: "Forget tight and crisp—these 14" hi-hats are delightfully fat and funky, with loads of white-noise overtones that produce aggressive "barks" and a downright rude "sloshy" effect when played with the two cymbals not quite closed. These hi-hats are best for those who want a deep, throaty sound as opposed to high-pitched cut.
When played with the foot, the Dark Hats produce a wide-sounding "chick," which is somewhat more defined on the Brilliant version. The natural-finish hi-hats, by comparison, are slightly richer in overtones—especially when played with a stick. Both sounded good when maintaining backbeats along with jazz ride cymbal and brush playing, as well as for raw rock 'n'roll and blues drumming.
Personally, I found the ideal blend when I matched the natural top with the Brilliant bottom—which gave me a good chick with my foot as well as plenty of overtones when I played them with a stick. (Sabian is happy to provide such a combination on a special-order basis.)"
