'''Review:''' "But since you’re rocking anyway, maybe it’s time to go large — and the 15″ Z3 hats go large. The regular 15″s have a macho sonic footprint and plenty of testosterone.

Review: "The 15" hi-hats were even more exciting, giving a lower, warmer and louder response. There is something about the extra diameter of 15" hats which makes them more accommodating. Closed, they delivered a fat crunch that put backbone into backbeats. When half-open, the wash they produced was enough to power a small town, let alone a twin guitar backline."
- Review written by Adam Jones ("Zildjian Z3 Cymbals review", Musicradar.com, August 11, 2009)
Review: "The Z3 line offers 14" ($554) and 15" ($606) regular and Mastersound hi-hats. Both versions consist of medium-weight tops and heavy bot- toms. Mastersound bottoms use hammered grooves for a faster and tighter "chick" sound when played with the foot. Both the 14" and 15" Mastersounds were crisper, cleaner, and more articulate than the regular hats. The 14" pair was a bit faster and brighter and had a tad more bite than the 15" hats, but I preferred the added depth, volume, and fullness of the 15" models.
The 14" regular hi-hats were loud, and the 15" regular hi-hats were even louder. Both were more flowing and looser than the Mastersounds, with a deeper "chick" sound and fuller stick articulation. They really screamed when played slightly open."
