Review: "The 14" K on top of the K Custom also had that characteristic cutting, high-pitched chick sound with a low-pitched splash sound. Yet here the splash was even lower—and just gorgeous. Playing these cymbals with sticks really was a lot of fun, because they had the low pitch of a jazz-type hi-hat—but with much more volume! Up till now, drummers working in louder situations were pretty much limited to heavier, high-pitched hi-hats just because they needed that power to cut through. But here are some loud hats with a low pitch—very nice. The 14" Rock top/K Custom bottom combination was very loud. The chick sound was tremendous, the splash was a bit lower-pitched than expected, and the stick sound was a bit "clanky." However, for drummers in very loud settings these might be a nice change of pace from the usual fare."
