Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
These 15-inch Meinl Polyphonic Hi-Hats combine thin edges with a thicker, unlathed bell. Played closed, they are described as tight and articulate, with attack balanced by air beneath the groove. Open them and the bell contributes a darker, more forceful wash; use the pedal and that same bell underpins a solid chick. The design gives closed, open, and foot-played figures clearly different responses within one pair.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Closed hi-hat grooves that call for defined attack with some air underneath.
- Opening the hats for a darker, more forceful wash.
- Foot-driven hi-hat parts requiring a solid chick.
