Holy amazing hi hats Batman.
These things are purely sick. My local Guitar Center got some from NAMM and had them set up on a bubinga/birch Starclassic with new Dark Energy imports on it. Well the Dark Energy crashes and 20" ride sounded superb as expected, but these new Crystal hats were the bomb diggity! Closed, hey felt like playing on air and had such an amazing responsive touch to them. Open, there wasn't a bit of displeasure to my ears which is what I get with most hats automaticaly judging them and how "crowded" they sound. A little quieter than I had anticipated, but an awesome set of hi hats for jazz settings or even some metal. That was really the only thing I saw "wrong" with them when really it wasn't wrong, just different, and they didn't really fit my own preference. Great hi hats nevertheless. The GC price that night was $490, but I assumed that was only because they were brand new and not on clearance.
