Review: "I've always liked 13" hi-hats for the reason mentioned earlier: their articulation and quick response. The 13" Light hats did not disappoint. I found them extremely versatile and adaptable, with a classic sound enhanced by a touch of darkness."
Review written by Martin Patmos ("Product Close-Up - Zildjian K Light, A Custom EFX, and New ZHT Models", Modern Drummer, April 2007, pp. 32-33)
Review: "First up are two pairs of Light hi-hats. These have been developed in response to requests for lighter versions of the existing K hats. They are available in two diameters: 13" and 14". Both pairs of cymbals bear lots of tight, shallow bands of lathing on both sides (known as pin lathing) and have handsome flattish profiles.
Contrary to what you might expect, the hats are not especially thin. Paired as a medium thin on top and a medium on the bottom, they are substantial enough for most weights of players. This sturdiness also ensures that they generate a good level of volume.
The 13" models are bright, lively and respond very quickly. Played energetically, they sound surprisingly aggressive. Beneath the opening brightness is warmth and delicacy though, and gentle playing reveals more of their colour and depth. These hi-hats were most pleasing when being stroked rather than bashed, but they are more than capable of coping with a wide range of dynamics."
