Review: "The hi-hats are described by Zildjian as having "a brilliant, controlled sound with a crisp, metallic 'chip' sound. Great projection live with a good, fast decay— ideal for studio work. I agree with most of that; I did find them to give excellent projection, and they did have a metallic "chip" sound when played with the foot. I wouldn't call them "brilliant" though; to me that connotes a high pitch, and I actually found the pair I tried to be a bit dark— especially when played partially closed. They also weren't particularly sensitive— in terms of quick response to funky sticking patterns— but I attribute this to the weight of the top cymbal. On the other hand, members of my band commented that they sounded "meaty" when I played a rock ride pattern on them. They were very musical, and blended nicely with the rest of the cymbals. My overall impression was that they would be acceptable hi-hats if priced in a pro-line range; they are excellent for mid-priced cymbals."
