Review: "Z Custom hi-hats come in one weight range—medium-heavy—and two sizes: 13" and 14". Both sizes produced a loud and solid "chick" sound when closed with the foot. Both also produced an excellent, loud, "roaring wash" of sound when played half-open (a la hard rock). The closed sound was a bit "chunky"—a result of the cymbal weight—but quite clearly defined. Forget about open-and-closed swing patterns; these hi-hats don't have the finesse. But the 13" gave surprising quickness on funky patterns—reminiscent of Zildjian's 13" K/Z combo hi-hats, but with more attack."
