We LOVE the classic 2002 Paiste Hi Hats. What makes them so special? Everything. They have a bright, crisp stick sound that cut in the most musical way. When played slightly open, these cymbals shine. Warm, beautiful sloshy tone that is anything but clangy. Whether played with a light touch, or a heavy-handed stroke you hear everything these hats have to offer. Use these for literally any type of music from Gospel to Grindcore. Some 15 inch hats can feel cumbersome...not these.
