What's your budget?
Hey guys, i was given this kit from a buddy who no longer used it. I believe its a toledo set. My hi hat is in rough condition with "dents" all around the side of the cymbals. So when im playing it closed, it isnt closed at all its uneven and just plain akward to play. I'm thinking about getting a new one, what do you recommend?

Toledo as in the name of the drum set or the collection as in Toledo of rogers drums? Also, when you say "Dents" all around the sides of the cymbals are you refering to the actual cymbals and, if so, what does that have to do with the hi-hat?
my budgets around 150$. And no i was referring to my hi hat it has dents all around the sides. And I'm pretty sure its Toledo the name of the drum set.

I suggest you look for a nice pair of hats on ebay or Craigslist.

wow buddy what happend to those??? hey, the guy that i am teaching just bought a set of the zildjian "pitch black" 15" mastersound hats. they are big but they do sound quite good, i bet they would sound awesome in a studio.
what kind of music are you going to playing with them? these pitch black hats have a black finish, and i would highly reccomend them for rock or metal! it really is all about what you like man. go to your local music store and tell them what you are looking for... if they are a good salesman, they should let you try out anything you want. good luck with this, and post pictures if you pick something up!
How do they sound when you raise them? Being off balance is a good thing. You don't want the suction cup effect.
I was thinking the same thing BLD. Kind of like the bottom cymbal in a Mastersound pair.

Mastersound hats are designed that way for a reason. I'm pretty sure if they're mangled out of shape enough to not close, the sound won't be too pleasing regardless.

dont get pitch blacks they are way overpriced.Also some cymbals sound decent while others are just horrible if your looking for that sound get zht's because pitch blacks sound like them but are painted and have a high price tag.
Pitch Black cymbals are ZHT's down to everything but the finish.

This thread is useless without pics.
to be honest with you i have been trying to find new hats, but the sabian B8's, in my opinion, sound better than alot of the higher priced ones. they are alot cheaper, so i dont know if its just me but you should check them out
alright man, do they sell them in canada? I could just get them of eBay

what kind of cymbals are you using?!!!? i got some when i bought my set,, and they were total crap, so if they are the ones that came with the set i would just change em, go for some mastersounds!!!!
if women don't find you handsome.
they should atleast find you handy.
I agree with a few of the guys on here. Check Ebay and get you a pair of Zildjian ZHTs.
I bought a pair off there for 75 bucks and they were practically new. Check this video out below.

I went to a local store a few days ago to see if all the reviews I've heard on the Pitch Blacks had any truth to them... the 15" Mastersound PBs do sound good. If you don't want black, it scratches off easily.
I also heard some 14" Sabian XS20s that sounded and felt really good. I think that'll be my next purchace.
