Review: "The first Soundcaster Fusion cymbals I pulled out of the box were the 14" hi-hats. On first strike, the word "clean" popped into my head. These hats have a sharp and defined chick sound when played by foot and an equally definitive stick sound when played closed. This tight sound is exactly what I hear in my head when I think of "fusion" hats.

The hats were definitely a highlight of the Fusion line."

Review: "The only current Fusion hi-hats are a pair of 14" Mediums. Played at the edge they give a warmish, slightly fuzzy stick sound. Travelling further in the sound tightens up and becomes more cutting, though not to the detriment of overall character. A metallic edge is also present when letting them sizzle half-open, but again it doesn't dominate.

A cross nearly all dynamics the hats give a versatile blend of projection and tonality."
