Review: "Like their ride cymbal compatriot, the High Definition hi-hats feature a spiral-lathed, unpolished finish, which results in a rich, complex tonality. Offered in a medium weight, these hi-hats are loud, have an exceptional “chick” foot sound, and offer a big cutting wash when played partially open. They’re exceptionally dry but possess a nice combination of brightness and control — a rich, complex, and shimmering sound, with a touch of “trashiness.” These somewhat aggressive qualities make the hats a perfect choice for electric settings. But their complex sound would also work in acoustic situations.
With a rich, complex tone to complement their overall dry character, the High Definition hi-hats are not only a worthy complement to the previously offered ride, but they add a unique and interesting sonic color to any cymbal setup."
