Zildjian's Description: <<< - >>>
Review: "Now we're getting really quirky. 13¼"? According to Akira, this gives him a bit more power than a 13" pair but more control than a 14". The most interesting thing about the hi-hats though is that they have 'Hybrid Hammering' around the outer edge of the bottom cymbal. This takes the form of small, half circle indentations pushed up from beneath the bottom cymbal.
Zildjian says this increases the area of contact, but in fact it reduces it, surely? Anyway, the effect is to counter the trapped air you get when two flat-edged discs clamp together - it sharpens up the pedalled 'chick' sound. More unusually, you get a fabulously sibilant 'tiss' when you just ease the pressure on the left foot and play the cymbals slightly open. It's almost as though there is a rivet in the top cymbal. Effective and unique."
