'''Review:''' "The 13" Medium hats were sharper and higher in pitch than the 14" Mediums and had a distinctive metallic wash. When I opened and closed the 13" pair, a tight "chip-chip" came through more than the impressively thicker pulsing "chick" sound of the 14" Mediums. The difference of an inch made for quite a significant sonic upgrade. With a fuller, deeper tonal wash and warmer characteristics than the tinny 13" set, the 14" Mediums felt more comfortable immediately." | '''Review:''' "The 13" Medium hats were sharper and higher in pitch than the 14" Mediums and had a distinctive metallic wash.

Sabian's Description: <<< - >>>
Review: "The 14" Regular hats were very appealing to my ears. The heavy bottom and medium top cymbals could have given the sound an overall heaviness. Instead, the hats were somewhat bright. The “sizzle” factor was high; playing the hats nearly closed produced a manageable “whoosh” that complemented the band."

Review: "The 13" Medium hats were sharper and higher in pitch than the 14" Mediums and had a distinctive metallic wash. When I opened and closed the 13" pair, a tight "chip-chip" came through more than the impressively thicker pulsing "chick" sound of the 14" Mediums. The difference of an inch made for quite a significant sonic upgrade. With a fuller, deeper tonal wash and warmer characteristics than the tinny 13" set, the 14" Mediums felt more comfortable immediately."
