    Default Paiste Signature Reflector 14" Dark-Crsip HiHats

    Turns out a little inside joke has been played on me thanks to my mother, she ended up spending more money on me for Christmas lol. It went something like this...
    So the friday after Christmas we went down to Guitar Center and ordered these hats. The manager estimated they would arrive around January 16th on the count of they were being made at Paiste hq, then being shipped to California, then again being shipped to Guitar Center. So I was kinda bummed by the wait, but the story had more lol.
    My mom and I were chillin yesterday and she suggested we go somewhere to eat since she had a gift card... On our way there we discovered the place was closed... So then while we were in the area she suggested we drive over to GC and ask my buddy if there was any word on the hats... So we did.
    I get in there and metioned to him that I had a show today so he went and checked. He came back saying, "It's your lucky day, bro," and pulls out a pair of Paiste 14" 101's... "They came yesterday," says he lol.
    So I was like, "Dude, are you kidding me?" turning and looking at my mom with a big smile on her face. And he goes, "Aren't these the one's you ordered?"
    I think I was possibly so angry that this was happening that I couldn't find a reply, but then just as I was about to freak, he says, "Oh wait a minute, dude, those aren't yours," and reveals my Reflectors from under the desk. So yea it was a big laugh between him and my mom, my face got really hot and red lol, luckily there were only two people in there to witness it
    So anyway... Now I've got these babies ready for my show in about an hour... Time for a real review

    Okay... these things are first off MUCH much darker than I had anticipated. The chick is so crisp and clean with a very genuine warmth to the stick. While open, they practically slice through whatever your playing like a razor knife and display excellent response. These things are heavy too, man. The bottom hat feels like about 2 pounds while the top feels around 1 pound. Dynamic range with these babies are incredible, you could go from practically nothing to tones defeating guitar amps. Other than this brief review, there's not much more I can say about these things, they just are what they are, brilliant in every way. Most likely the nicest hi hats I have ever heard from Paiste aside from some of their New Signature products and definately the nicest I've heard over any other brand. Plus the things look freakin awesome lol. If you've got the mu... buy them.
