Review: "For cymbals termed "heavy," this pair of hi-hats was not physically heavy. (I've encountered some "heavy" hats where I could hardly lift the bottom cymbal.) This bottom cymbal was a little heavier than the top, and consequently had a higher pitch. Played together, these hi-hats sounded very cutting and clean, with a good "wash" between the two when played half open. Stick response was great, and they were easy to play. And they possessed the all-important—and very satisfying"chick" sound."
