Use these hi-hats for almost everything now.

Anonymous 31.01.2017

This hi-hat has its own unique sound with higher pitch due to its size and the hammering and finish giving a nice dark sounding tone as well.

I use this cymbal mainly for jazz, fusion and sometimes a bit of metal.

Only negative I can say about it is that it doesn't lend itself to being played all the way open but that is due to more of the size I got (13 inch) so isn't a fault of the hi-hat but maybe the 13 inch isn't best for rock.

Has a great pedal hat sound that cuts through.

Looks great and sounds great, can't complain!

Best hi-hats ever!

Cesarito 16.05.2022

I've never been a dark cymbal guy but after endlessly looking and listening at hi-hat videos decided to pull the plug on these. There's a cool balance going on here: the 13' size makes them fast and the darkness lowers the pitch so they're complex and dark but fast. You get a very pleasant, articulate and crisp "chick" when you play them closed but they can get loud and throaty when you bash em' open but of course you control that as you lay into them, they feel great under the sticks and give you a nice rebound. Box came well padded including the meinl plastic sleeve on the cymbals, no funny business, no issues.

Rundum gelungen!

Wenn man sich diese Hats zulegt, kann man wirklich nichts falsch machen. Sie fügen sich in jedes Setup super ein und eignen sich für fast jede Stilistik. Ich verwende sie sowohl im Bigband- Kontext für typisch jazzige Dinge als auch für Rockige Situationen. Am besten passt sie meiner Meinung nach in die Funk- Richtung.
Alles in allem klingt die Hi-Hat schön trocken mit toller Definition, wobei sie jedoch nicht tot wirkt. Getreten setzt sie sich gut gegen die Bläser in der Bigband durch, bleibt dabei aber immer musikalisch und hat einen schönen Dynamikumfang. Sie ist für eine 13" Hi-Hat ungewöhnlich schwer, das liegt aber noch im Rahmen. Man sollte nur vielleicht die Schraube der Hi-Hat clutch lockern, wenn man nicht spielt, um die Feder zu schonen.

Ich bin mit dieser kleinen Hi-Hat über alle Maße zufrieden und kann sie jedem ans Herz legen, der einen Allrounder für viele Stilistiken sucht.
