Review: "The 13" pair had all the characteristics of the 14"s, but with a higher voice. Everything else - the wash, the stick response, the cutting power - was the same. The real fun started when I set up both sets on two hi-hat pedals, and played 16ths and triplets between my hands and feet. I was able to play at various speeds, and the cymbals projected every nuance I put into them. It was very satisfying, and I began to understand why Thomas Lang likes to use multiple hi-hat stands and work between them. I've always thought that each foot and hand can be utilized individually to create a musical statement. Although I think Thomas's stellar position is safe despite my best efforts, it was good to hear the sound coming out of the hi-hats that I put into them."
