Description

A Zildjian

• For an even bolder A Zildjian HiHat sound, the Mastersound Hats feature a more cutting, pronounced "chick" from hammered grooves that vent air quickly.¹
  

A Custom

• For an even bolder A Custom HiHat sound, the Mastersound Hats feature a more cutting, pronounced "chick" from hammered grooves that vent air quickly.²
  

K Zildjian

• Dark version of the Mastersound HiHats, delivering a very swift hihat "chick" response and traditional dark K sound.³
  

Pitch Black

• You can’t have a real Metal line without ‘em. 15” diameter for power, Mastersound edge on the bottom HiHat for commanding presence. The undersides are also uncoated. So devastating, they should be illegal.⁵

S

• Mastersound HiHats feature a hammered outer edge bottom cymbal, which not only prevents air lock, but creates a lively, fast “chick” sound and an overall balanced tonal presence. Choose 13” diameter for more control and articulation, or 14” diameter for a versatile range of frequencies and full-bodied response.⁴
  

Z Custom

• Z Custom HiHats with a crisper, louder, more biting "chick" sound. Nice and sizzly when played open. Superb cutting power.⁵
