Zildjian's Description: <<< - >>>
Review: "Z Custom hi-hats come in one weight range—medium-heavy—and two sizes: 13" and 14". Both sizes produced a loud and solid "chick" sound when closed with the foot. Both also produced an excellent, loud, "roaring wash" of sound when played half-open (a la hard rock). The closed sound was a bit "chunky"—a result of the cymbal weight—but quite clearly defined. Forget about open-and-closed swing patterns; these hi-hats don't have the finesse. But the 13" gave surprising quickness on funky patterns—reminiscent of Zildjian's 13" K/Z combo hi-hats, but with more attack."
Review written by Rick Van Horn "Product Close-Up - Zildjian Z Custom Cymbals" (Modern Drummer, Nov. 1994, p. 43)
Review: (This is for the re-designed (2nd Generation) Z Custom cymbals) "With their medium-heavy top and heavy bottom, these hi-hats are loud, bright, and cutting—in keeping with the rest of the line. They are also versatile enough to be played in other genres. You get great stick response when playing on them closed. The wash is smooth and even when you leave them slightly open. The "chick" sound is sharp and clean."
