These Paiste 900 Series 14" Heavy Hi Hat Cymbals are created from Paiste's industry standard CuSn8 bronze alloy, and refined with Swiss craftsmanship by hand hammering and lathing. A special darker finish amplifies the lathing grooves and hammer marks for a gorgeous appearance that blends roughness and elegance. These particular hats are responsive with a lively intensity and a crisp stick sound. The heaviness of the hats produce a sharp, cutting sound with medium to loud volume that is bright, energetic, and suitable for a variety of genres. The 900 series hats are a tremendous value, get them at Drum Center of Portsmouth!
