Review: "The Hi-Hats especially benefited from the extra weight of the bottom cymbal which added a degree of "clunk" to the closed sound and greatly assisted the projection. In some ways I was a little disappointed with these Hi-Hats. They weren't as responsive as I would have liked and the "chip" when bringing them together with the foot left a little to be desired in terms of focus. Possibly I expected too much from them merely because they sported the Zildjian name. Nevertheless they were definitely a very useful pair of Hi-Hats with a fair amount of character and volume even though they aren't the brightest cymbals in the world. Mind you for £60 all complaints take on a very different perspective — as does the word Zildjian emblazoned across their surface."
