'''Review:''' "The 14" Rock hats are a fraction heavier and louder, however the contrast with the 14" Mastersound hats is sensational. These have a wavy edge bottom cymbal which changes the response drastically. The cymbals are higher in pitch and, when half-open, the sound sizzles like a pan of bacon. Even when closed, the bottom cymbal makes a difference, adding a rasping, toppy sibilance. | '''Review:''' "The 14" Rock hats are a fraction heavier and louder, however the contrast with the 14" Mastersound hats is sensational.
