Review: "While the design has been applied to crashes before, the hi-hats are completely new. The fact that Jim Keltner liked using a pair of the old Sound Creation Short Crashes as hi-hats no doubt helped convince Paiste to make a dedicated pair. The new Crystals are included within the Signature range because Paiste concluded that the Signature alloy was the most appropriate bronze to work with for the particular sound it was seeking. The cymbals are dotted with a profusion of tidy hammer marks and are finely lathed from the centre hole to the edge, but the narrowness of the lathing bands means that the finish doesn't have same degree of brightness as regular Signature models.
The Crystal Hats are symmetrically matched in terms of shape, and are conventionally paired with the bottom cymbal being heavier than the top. They make a very pleasant sound, giving an extremely clean and smooth response. The top end is quite prominent but there is a silkiness to it that prevents it from grating. Loosened off they happily sizzle away, and again a velvety smoothness is present that leaves them sounding naturally EQ'd."
