'''Review:''' (NOTE: This review is for the brilliant version) "The 14" Alpha Brilliant Medium hi-hats, however, proved to be excellent all-purpose cymbals. They provided very crispy stick attacks, a warm hiss when held partially open, and a tight foot "chick." I really liked playing two-hand diddle patterns on these hats, where I could explore all the varying degrees of closed versus open sounds. I'd put the hi-hats on par with any pair of medium-weight professional-quality cymbals. The 13" hi-hats were a little more one- dimensional, with a super-crisp and high-pitched closed tone and a throatier, frying-pan-type open voice. I'd personally use these cymbals on an X-hat, where I could keep them clamped down for an alternate ultra-tight sound." | '''Review:''' (NOTE: This review is for the brilliant version) "The 14" Alpha Brilliant Medium hi-hats, however, proved to be excellent all-purpose cymbals.
