Zildjian K 14-inch Mastersound hi-hats

There is no part of your drum kit that you spend more time on than your hi-hats. As they are such an integral part of your sound, selecting which pair suits you best can be a daunting task. These 14-inch K Zildjian Mastersound hi-hats might just convince you, however. They have that characteristically dark, warm sound that all the cymbals in the K family have, in addition to that fast, clean Mastersound 'chick'. That is thanks to the fact that the bottom cymbal features Zildjian's Mastersound hammering, which creates somewhat of a rippled edge. That edge means that the air can escape out of the cymbal even when it is closed, which alters the sound. This is most evident when you play the hi-hat closed, and when you use the hi-hat pedal, the Mastersound hi-hat produces that fast and clear 'chick' sound.

In short, these 14-inch K Zildjian Mastersound hi-hats have a beautifully dark and warm sound, while the Mastersound hammering gives them a fast and clear 'chick' when you close them.
