giomix Says 13" please

Submitted On: Monday, Jul 26, 2010 - 7:20 PM

I usually play on 13" Paiste 2002. Crispy, chirpy and very well defined. They have a good Sloshy sound when I leave them half open and just bash them, but sometimes for the track a 14" would get a better wash sound.

Drummer Drew Says says you can't go wrong with 14" Zildjian New Beat

I got my first drum set in the summer of 1987 and they came with 14" Zildjian New Beat hi-hats. At the time, I was only 14 and didn't know much, but I knew what bad hi-hats sounded like and mine defintely didn't sound bad. Since then I had Sabian 14" AA hats which sounded nice, but not as nice as the New Beat hats. So after a couple of years with the Sabians, I bought another pair of New Beats and I haven't looked back.

13" Sabian HHX Groove hats are really crisp and light sounding.

Michael Reed Says Sabian!

mitydrum Says I play on a set of 14"

I play on a set of 14" Zildjian Z custom hats and love the cripsness of the stick response and the trashy response when played open. They also have a very distinct 'chick' when played with the foot. However, I'd really like to try a set of 13" hats just to see....

Using Paiste 3000 14" Heavy. I kinda came into them by accident, but I love them now.

remy_starwing Says Standard 14''

I've been running some 14'' Zildjian ZXT's for a while now, and they haven't let me down yet!
Although there is a set of new Sabian B8 14'' that I just love!
The Closed Hat sound of the Zildjians combined with the Open Hat sound of the Sabians are just killer!
Two high-hats man, lol the way to go!

drumfreak Says I like my 13" hats

I really like the size and feel of 13" hats.. I usually play on Zildjian Master Master Sounds because I like the brightness. Here's an example of these hats: http://www.drummerconnection.com/users/drumfreak/media/audio/42541-091221-eric-and-hector-jam-part-2
