Review: "The hi-hats also come with an 8" brass cymbal, and the same rules apply. You can use the hats with or without the 8"splash. The bottom hi-hat contains jingles, which add a tambourine type of effect. I personally would have preferred a few more jingles; at times I thought the jingle effect got lost. I found the Safari hats a bit too trashy to use as the main hi-hats in my acoustic setup. But more and more drummers are adding a second set of hats to their kits, and I’d certainly recommend checking these out for that purpose. And when I applied them to my electronic setup, they really came alive, blending right in with some of my non traditional-sounding kits."
