Great Hats, I got a used pair for a great price but they are still the same. Anyway, these hats can really keep the beat I tried them on three different sets and three different kinds of music and I was blown away, now the reason I cant give them 5 stars is because, the Paiste Rude Hats, and Paiste Dark Energy Hats are slightly better for rock music. Now I am Not saying that they aren't good for rock music, just if you pay an extra buck or two you could get something that might suit you more. Otherwise Great Hats!

Great hats! Have used them for years and have received many compliments on the sound. During gigs I have had the misfortune of the guitarists progressively turning up their volume as the gig matured: none the less, the hats still "cut" through it all.

When I was in the market for new high-hats, I knew that I would focus on Zildjians, due to their tremendous reputation. I went on their website and listened to audio clips of most of their high-hats and I have to say that the quick-beat high-hats had the best overall sound out of all of them. I chose to purchase them and I have to say that I was overjoyed with my selection when I got them home and tried them out for the first time. Very clear and articulate when played closed and have an amazingly brilliant sizzle when played opened. These are the high-hats that Scott Phillips of Creed/Alterbridge uses and if they are good enough for a 25 million album selling drummer for one of the premier rock bands of the late 90's early 00's, then they are certainly good enough for me!

These Hi-hats get sound that you would expect from a K series pair. They are awesome. The vents help. The articulation you get from these hi-hats is truly amazing, and they are aptly named. I like to play fast, and on a lesser Hi-hat, every hit sort of washes together. But the quick beats get a crisp sound every time, no matter how fast you play. Buy these Hi-Hats, no matter what kind of music you play, you will not be disappointed.
