What features do you expect when you buy hihats…

Quality:
They look different to most pictures shown by Sabian. Good quality however, very well made, strong – have no structural damage at all.

Value:
D

Desirability:
No, not really…

Sound:
Closed sound – played with stick – is good, very responsive. Foot sound is OK, nothing to great, but doesnt sound terrible. As you open the hats, when playing with sticks, they start to sound tinny sounding, but for the price you can expect this. Would suit pop/rock music.

Ease of Use:
When you start playing open/closed grooves, it can be difficult to get a good sound out of them. However, closed, they suit most cymbal setups.

Support:
Havn’t needed any, but from experience with Sabian prodcuts, support would be very good.

Overall:
For the amount you pay, the best hihats on the market. Better than any Zildjian or Paiste equivilants, such as Zildjian ZBTs or Paiste PST3s. Recommended to anyone who doesn’t have the money to go for a higher price range, and they wouldnt be disappointed in these.

Feature:
These hats have a lot of features. They sound good with pretty much and style of music.

Quality:
I would’ve loved for them to have a brilliant finish but i got them for free so i’m not complaining.

Value:
I am keeping these things forever.

Desirability:
They don’t have much sex appeal because they aren’t in a brilliant finish so i gave an 8. It’s not about looks it’s about sound and if you are a real musician you know that.

Sound:
These thngs sound awesome. I was using zbt’s and all i have to say is wow. These hi hats sound awesome. The chick sounds awesome. And when played open they are a dream. I play some in your face music and they cut through it like tissue paper.

I haven’t had to call zildjian so thats good.

Overall:
Overall these cymbals are great. If you are looking to buy and you aren’t sure what to get than get these guys. Trust me you will not be dissapointed.
