Review: "The 14" hats were, predictably, lower in pitch, and they had a bit more body. These new hats have everything to recommend them for all-purpose use."

Review written by Martin Patmos ("Product Close-Up - Zildjian ZHT Cymbals - Nice Alloy...Nice Sound", Modern Drummer, April 2007, p. 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 14" hi-hats are immediately a mellower prospect, giving a deeper and darker response with a little more complexity as a result. There is still plenty of mid-range body to be found though, and the toppy clarity of the 13" models is also present when required. As with the smaller versions, this makes for a thoroughly versatile pair of hi-hats that offer classic K warmth while still being able to project in many musical situations."
