Review: I own a pair from 1981. Fat and tight foot chic. tight and clean sounding when closed. Very nice half-open sound, I had a lot of fun playing the intro of "the prisoner - Iron maiden". I played a few times with my pop/rock band and with my metal band and it works great in both settings. Great hi-hat, very versatile. Pros: a lot. Cons: very few to none.

Review: A nice "chick" sound. Somewhat full sounding, but not overbearing. The set I have is from 1983,and some say that Paiste has made newer models a little heavier. This pair is actually good at quicker hi-hat work that I expected. Not very muddy sounding, these are pretty clean, which I like. These cymbals reek of 1980's Metal,and I love that about them! The pitch is about medium to medium-high. Like most 2002s, these should work with just about any style of music from Country on up.

Review: Own a set of these and practiced and gigged on them most weekends since 1988, speaks for itself.
Never let me down, very durable and despite being heavy weight versatile.Awesome for rock, and have used for anything else played at loud and soft volumes.
I like playing them slightly open or closed tight.
The sound edge would be the cream of this series.

Review: I have owned two sets of these (currently still have a set) They are among my very favorite hi-hats. Crisp, bright and cutting hi-hats with a great open shimmer sound. Great stick articulation that cuts. I do believe these can be played in most settings but shines in the rock 'n roll setting. I currently am adding a soundedge bottom to these to enhance the chick sound.
