I have been playing on Zildjian K Mastersound hats for years but I have to admit I was really surprised by the Zultan caz, sounded amazing both closed and opened

My favorite high hats hands down are the 1960s New Beats. Have several high hats, but those old New Beats are the most musically correct if you play classic rock or do studio work.

IMO the best one was the Meinl 14" Byzance Jazz Thin. Nice and soft, with a lot of character. I also liked the Zildjian 15" K Light a lot. Worst one was (a little bit surprisingly) the Paiste 14" 2002 Sound Edge. Way too bright for me.

Yip, agree on the Meinl 14" Byzance Jazz Thin being my favourite. It's than lovely mellowness. Also agree on not liking the Paiste, I find a lot of their not expensive hats have that overly thin toyish character. It's unpleasant. In the budget range, I liked the Zultan hats more than their price led me to expect to, especially on the closed hat sound (Meinl much better open though). The Zultan's are in my budget, so I'll start there. And upgrade to Meinl later. The Zultan Aja 14" is only just over £100, and so quite a good entry level choice; for the price. The Meinl is almost 4x that. The deep 15" Zultans for cheap, and the crisp Zildjian 15" K light at mid-price were good too, but maybe too big / loud for my small Pearl Midtown kit. And the Zildjian costs more than the whole shell set and my kick drum pedal and hat/snare stand together.

Yeah, same, but I will also add the PST7s were pretty good and way better than those particular 2002s in this case. But each to their own.@@andreasbreitwieser1449

For my ears and research I find: Meinl Sand Hats, Zildjian K special Dry’s, Paiste Masters Dark hats,/602 essentials; Sabian HH Complex mediums, Istanbul Agop Xist Dry Dark’s 17’s or Turks to fit my taste. To me, those are top shelf. But I’m still in the middle of my research.

I have a pair of 1974 Paiste 2002 sound edge 15" hats. Of all the different hats I have owned, these are in a class by themselves. I do love all brands but only own Paiste's currently.

Other than Turkish cymbals such as Istanbul and Zildjian, they are not even worth talking about. 😎

@trinhphuongtuvi1518 Ай бұрын

Please help me, I'm in Vietnam, I'm about to buy a good cymbal set, so I have a question that I hope you can help answer soon: between the paiste 7, paiste 8 and paist 2002 cymbals, which one should I buy? Or forced to buy jildjian? Because although I'm passionate about playing drums, I'm still poor. I saved money for a long time to be able to afford to buy paiste 2002. I don't have enough money left even though I really like zildjian K or sabian. Thank you very much

@albertofalzoi1541 7 ай бұрын

to my ears, Zultan Q and Paiste PST7 are the best well balanced through all frequency range. Good and strong qualities also for HHX Evolution 14" and Masters Dark 15", beautifully low and defined

I'm a fan of 13" Hats... I use Sabian AAX-plosion Hats. I really like the sharp and crisp, high-pitched hats sound where you can bring in all the little nuances. Great comparison. There are some nice Zultan Hats in there... other than hat, I liked the Zildjian and Sabian Sound most... but not so much the 15" Hats. Heres a crazy idea: How about a cowbell comparison?! And maybe these plastic click-sound thingys?... like they say on Saturday Night Live: I gotta have more cowbell!! 😁

@drewlawrence696 3 ай бұрын

I would stack my Bionic 13" Hats against any of those and they would stand up really well. I realise they probably aren't 'best-selling' but that will only be because of a lack of 'famous' endorsers 'pushing' their cymbal choices down our throats.....I am of course referring to that venerable collection of Italian cymbal smiths...UFIP. Their tag-line says it all, 'Ear Created Cymbals'. Cymbals are musical instruments, surely we should be choosing them by 'what' they sound like, not what 'brand' they are?

What are your thoughts on the 14 hhx evolution hi hats.

@gordgibson6654 Жыл бұрын

I guess there are so many choices cause every drummer has their own needs based on style, wants, budget and what ultimately rocks their sox. I would have to base the sound for me personally listening to them in person and not over the internet. I don't know if the microphone was too close or to hot or in the wrong position but they all sounded weird a bit trashy and distorted, imo...rock on people!

Unfortunately for the wallet, it's really only a contest between the HHX Evo and Zildjian A for me. For the future, it would be awesome if you specified which mics we're hearing. I presume it's a mixture of a close and maybe a room incl. bleed from snare mic? It would be really nice to hear the close mic only!

A weird thing. I was goofing around with my hi hat cymbals. Recently got some sabian b8 hats with a bunch of other drumstuff I bought. Figured I would check them out. Not bad. Best budget hats I have heard, but.... Goofing around, I paired the b8 bottom with my sabian hh top hat... wow. The sound is exactly what I hear and want for a jazz piece I am working up. So surprised at how much I love the sounds... chick, washy, tight... just great all around! So you never know till you try I guess.

@MM-ig1iv 6 ай бұрын

If you're happy with it.. that's important. Nothing like trying to play or practice when the sound is off. It's uninspiring.
